Fun with interest matching  
(Thanks to [info]typographer for the idea for this entry)

So, I don't know if anyone has ever looked, but a while back (and occasionally again since then) I had fun dumping everything I could think of into my interest list. When they announced the cool Interest Matching service on [info]paidmembers last week, I had a little fun and thought I'd see who came up on my list (note: I think this service is only for paid members right now). Interesting. I think that the "magic index" has less to do with how many similar interests you have with a person than the number of similar interests divided by the number of people who list those interests. Thus, if you like, for instance, "food" and 23,192 other people like "food", this would give a low index number. However, if you like "chocolate-covered mothballs" and only three other people list that as an interest, the index would be much higher.

So, what did I get?
