Amazon's 'you may also like...' feature is evil, I have just ordered a pile of CD's by people I have never heard of before, because... well, why not?

I spent about an hour a few months ago letting Amazon know that all the things on their "you may also like..." list were things I already own.

It does occur to me that Amazon is slowly building up a list of every book and film I own. Imagine how dangerous that information could be in the wrong hands...

Same here, although I do need a checkbox for "Never ever recommend this to me again, or anything even vaguely like it - the merest thought of it makes me scream as it haunts my darkest nightmares."

For when the "not interested" box is so woefully inadequate.

I don't tend to spend money on Amazon's recommendations, but I do go to the library sometimes and look for books that it recommends.

That would be the cheaper and more sensible option, yes.

Scary, I was just doing that earlier, looking at recomendations. They are surprisingly accurate, they recommended me a bunch of dodgy occult books, Doom 3, Star Wars DVDs and Hellblazer comics. All good, I would say!
sooo dangerous, though. *keeps card away*

It is evil but not for the same reason. It keeps ordering me to buy Whitley Striber books. ACK!

Thankfully I am not familiar with that horro. You can tell it you're not interested tho'.

*irrelevant warning*

I LOVE the dancing penguin... Especially when you get three on the same page, all slightly out of sync. I could watch those penguins boogie for hours!
Having said that, I'm easily amused....

Fortunately, most albums have little Real Audio snippets. However, if those sound good, it's too late. I found Unheilig that way.
