Insuggest.com -Personal Web and Photo Recommendations

inSuggest is like the Pandora for web pages and photos. Users enter in a series of web pages that they like, and inSuggest will pull up a list of recommended sites based on those preferences.

Likewise, you can select images from a collection of flickr photos, and the engine will provide you with a series of similar pictures. Both functions (known as web inSuggest and image inSuggest) are very simple to use- they involve either typing an html address into a box of text or dragging a photo into a square, and the list of suggestions is immediate. You can also search for specific keywords for both the web pages and pictures. Finally, the site offers a “random” option that displays a list of random web pages or photos for you to discover.

“Web inSuggest is a tool for discovering new web sites based on you own unique taste. Enter a couple of web sites you like and instantly get personal recommendations. Images inSuggest is a fun way to browse images from Flickr. Select a couple of images you like and you will instantly get recommendations from like-minded people.”

Both web inSuggest and image inSuggest are cool engines for discovering new online content. However, web inSuggest, especially if you are searching within a specific category of sites, can offer up some really interesting sites you may not have formerly considered.

How are the results found? We know that Pandora uses complex algorithms to present results that share similar sound elements. Are inSuggest results based merely on other users’ preferences? If so, won’t the results be more about the most popular sites, rather than discovering new, (potentially underground) websites?
