So I did this like a year ago…and some things just haven’t changed…
You can make LJ tell you which users match up to you the most…just hop to https://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?mode=findsim_do&user=mugsy1274, but replace “mugsy1274” with your LJ name.
Each matching user gets computed a magic index, which is a weighting of two factors: the raw number of like interests, and some extra points for sharing uncommon interests.
So here’s the people on my “friends” list that match up…
– 28.595 (she was tops then, and she’s still tops)
– 24.799 (I guess we indie filmmaker nerds are all alike)
– 19.855 (I think this is how I found her to be on my friends list in the first place)
– 18.494 ( know this is how he ended up on m list)
– 16.098 (she’s moved up from 11.214 a year ago)
In case you’re wondering…here is the list of interests that and I have in common:
acting
david sedaris
frank sinatra
humor
improv
john cusack
kevin spacey
sarcasm
sushi
the big lebowski
the onion
