I'm not a prolific enough Twitter user, so I didn't expect the recommendations to be right for my name (they weren't close).

I tried using the names of some friends who do tweet/follow/are followed a lot but the site doesn't seem to be working at this time.

It's a neat concept/idea. Would love to hear a little bit of the background behind it.

how do you know? it's recommendations, not your current preferences. if you listen to break-bit-hard-core-metal-funk, it may recommend you some Tchaikovsky
