Google Experiments

Try "green, purple, red" to get a set of 40 different colours. Try a set that contains both Richard Stallman and Bill Gates, see what google associates with Slashdot or ask for a set of rude words."

If you're a huge Google fan (and aren't we all) check out Google Weblog. They had this story 2 days ago, plus they keep you up to date on other cool Google happenings.

And no, it's not my site. I just think it's cool.

Maybe I should have clarified a little more. Amazon's suggestions never work for me, because I like old school, early nineties grunge and they figure that music sort of falls into "heavy" and "not heavy" categories. So I'm constantly reccomended stuff by Metallica, System of a Down, Primus, etc which are all heavy bands, but which don't fit the particular vein of heavy music I like. Google also made the jump to returning Godsmack, which is a newer hardcore band with a lot of grunge fundamentals (which I like) and Tool, and artsier, more emo-influenced heavy band, but still with grunge influences and ties. I don't think Godsmack would ever refer to themselves as grunge, but the connection exists, and google figured it out. Extremely impressive - after all, this is a highly subjective subject area, but one that still has some overall generalizations to it.
