Let computers figure out what you like with inSuggest

inSuggest is a new recommendation service for finding interesting items on the Web.

Like pictures of beaches? Drag them one by one up into inSuggest's drop spaces up above. It will automatically filter together other similar shots.

There are two variations -- one for blogs and Web sites, and another for photographs. Both take four items picked by users to whittle down the types of sites or photographs you'd be interested in.

Between the two, the Web flavour is a little more structured, requiring users to enter in the URLs of some of their favourite sites. The results can then be previewed right below the search box and be browsed eight recommendations at a time.

The photo engine is a little more organic, simply requiring users to drag photos that they're interested in into one of four slots up at the top. Each photo that's dragged pulls in several other similar shots, all of which come from Flickr.

The service was created by two Swedes with experience in the gaming industry. Expect to see other varients of the engine used for audio and video clips similar to what's been done with StumbleVideo and Pandora.

Your link for the "photographs" points to http://image.insuggest.com/ instead of http://images.insuggest.com/
