It will ask you what music you like and then think about what you might like too. When I set gnod online its database was completely empty. Now it contains thousands of bands and quite some knowledge about who likes what.</i></p></blockquote> <p><amazicon asin="B00007E8PK" align="left"/><amazicon asin="B00004RI8O" align="right"/>Does it work? The difference between this and Google is that Gnod leverages <em>human</em> expertise --- I gave it several subsets of my fairly ecclectic, obscure and <em>outside</em> tastes, and while I was given a whack of interestingly false positives, within a few minutes I'd discovered <a href="http://www.jimmiespheeris.com/">Jimmie Spheeris</a> and <a href="http://spence.bryandeno.com/">Joseph Spence</a> ... true, it's not exactly indie material, but Gnod got a lot farther than I'd expected, and presumably the artists I'd used to find these two are now <em>also</em> potential recommendations for the Spheeris/Spence fans.</p> http://blog.teledyn.com/node/1617#comments slay the RIAA Wed, 14 Jan 2004 11:58:01 -0500 mrG 1617 at http://blog.teledyn.com
