This is a bit scary how this thing works.

Has anyone just bought something from here without even checking it out or even hearing of them before?

I just figured out how to remove things thru the "why was this recommended" link. Fancy.

It always recommends me things I already bought somewhere else. Or jewelry.

if you rate those things you have already bought, and remove the jewelry, it gets interestingly close to my wish list

I'm too lazy to take advantage of interactive features. I tend to use Amazon for the Wish List function only.

Yes, I have, and it was surprisingly not bad.

But yeah, like everyone else says -- I'm too lazy to fine tune it -- I have to say that I already own everything I already own, and that's a bit much. And then I realize I did all that without logging in, so it won't remember it all next time.

I purchased one CD for my wife(for Christmas) by some latin artist and now it's like I'm on Amazon Espanol.

dOOdz, Brasil is ornery right now. You might want to stay away, then. Or, they might just bicycle kick you back to ATL.

At least that means it'll recommend Beck's new disc "Guero", dude.

Well, I did read the description and reviews, but this is how I found Okkervil River's "Don't Fall in Love With Everyone You See," and OR turned out to be one of my favorite bands.
