That could be a great application of a detailed rating system... Multi-
dimensional too, not just a single number.

In terms of websites, I was thinking more along the lines of you telling the
server what types of websites you liked best, and it would compare that with
what other people had said about what they liked best, and would present you
with predictions about or lists of sites you hadn't visited yet. At present
there are well more than 500 fan-created LEGO pages (sites).
Composite collation of ratings would also help in building and maintaining
"cool links" lists which are currently created by hand by a number of people.
Imagine if you could get a "cool links" list tailored just for you, in addition
to lists prepared by hand or other impersonal composite machine-generated
lists.
