Hmm. Well, of course I'm interested in those things. But this list isn't nearly as fascinating as the lists I see other people getting. ::harrumph::

seems pretty accurate to me, though the order may be a little skewed...

Well, it's just that I see people getting all sorts of really neat -- and specific -- suggested interests. All of these are generalizations of listed interests I already have.

I mean, what is the point of listing 'sex' as an interest? How many people have to be told (and can't deduce it from certain other of my other listed interests) that I'm interested in sex?

Ditto with 'psychology.' I'm pretty sure I have Carl Jung, consciousness, philosophy of mind, and other similar things listed.

I just feel gyped, that's all. But then, it was free, so I guess I shouldn't complain...

I think people with cool interests get lame results from this meme and vice versa. Mine were exceedingly crappy, and I blame it on having mostly obscure interests listed.

If you follow the "find out more" link she discusses the algorithm in detail. It has some strange kinks which might explain this behavior.

Makes sense to me. The list I got was hopeless, with things like "friends" and "kissing." Of course, my actual interests list is completely whacked, so that probably explains it.

Hi, I've been admiring your posts in convert_me for a long time for how very sensitive and well-considered they are, and after reading your reply on a recent post I added you to my friends list so I could keep up with your interesting regular posts. I hope that's okay with you, and thanks for your writing!
