you-might-also-like 20100124 "You Might Also Be Intellectually Stimulated By" TECH DUDE It's an IQ based recommendation engine for social bookmarking websites. TECH DUDE In order to register for an account, you have to take a basic IQ test. DUDE What's that? TECH DUDE Exactly. DUDE I don't get it. TECH DUDE Obviously, you would score somewhere in the double digits. TECH DUDE This engine will then only recommend links whom *other* retards happen to like. TECH DUDE If you score high, you will only see links favored by us intelligent people. TECH DUDE So you will get all the LOLpics, chatroom screenshots, baby humping dogs, and sensationalized headlines you could ever want - TECH DUDE - and I will get all the interesting and relevant news stories, accurate science articles, and clever programing tricks. TECH DUDE Everyone is happy! Greatest idea ever? DUDE What does sensationalized mean? [Tech Dude is still working on the smugness filter.]

This is actually a really amazing idea. Does anyone know of something like this that actually exists? If not, swb, I demand that you make it, post haste.

Out of interest, what kind of IQ do people that come here have? Mine tests at an average of about 135, which I'm maybe a little smug about. Just wondering if this idea actually works or not.

I've never taken real IQ test, but I assume we're all geniuses here. ;]

Comments are acting weird. I wrote a long comment but then edited it shorter before pressing save. As if I hadn't edited the long version was posted. So I pressed edit and tried 'save comment' again, this time a little different. Then the first edit was shown and not the second. Strange.

Yes, I noticed it's acting weird too. I wrote the whole thing in one sitting when I first made the site and it's been buggy ever since. I'll get around to doing it properly one of these days here. But it does seem to be working for the moment.

Sensationalised is a pretty interesting word though. Our senses are liars, only the abstract intellect can deliver accurate news headlines? Mind over matter.
