Why not hook me up to those weblogs my "taste buddies", ie others who are choosing similarly to me, are choosing. That could happen on the basis of me choosing three or four weblogs, just like buying at amazon. Once they know a couple of books, they do a good job at picking my videos!

Exactly. I'll bet Dave could whip something like this up pretty quickly, but I should let Dave tell me whether my guess is any good or not!

In general, once there's some level of categorization of content and some level of user identification--whether through explicit registration or just a cookie ID number--all sites should provide at least this level of "collaborative filtering."
