Foxblot.com - my saturday project: Twitter book recommender

1 points by vain ↗ HN
it's here: http://foxblot.com Spent some hours doing this today. it has started to look interesting, but i am biased!

How it works: javascript:

   1. fetches latest 100 tweets by json api
   2. removes urls and @mentions
   3. removes stop words
   4. count frequency of all words
   5. post list to backend
backend:

   6. sort words entropy looking up in a frequency database
   7. search highest entropy words at amazon.co.uk
   8. send back data as json
This has mostly been for fun, and I think I will add facebook soon.

What do you guys think? Ideas?

(Apologies for stealing the color theme and css from here!)
