Nice! It would be cool if the recommendations gave a hint of why it was recommended (e.g. "We recommended this because X liked Y on Facebook, or pinned Z on pinterest")

Good call, adding it!

Great site - unfortunately I'm based in the UK and a number of the recommendations only exist on Amazon.com; not .co.uk. If you could make this international that would be great - though I suspect that's lower on your priority list than it is on my wishlist.

Another nice feature would be a price range filter.

Would like to have it examine my posts / likes, etc and recommend gifts for me, just so I can see what it would tell others.

I'd love that too, so I know how much to trust it

Cool idea,

some recommendations are spot on, but some are a bit wierd [recommending annual Maxim's subscription for my wife - this I consider wierd... :-)]

Check for the possible bug - when I was paging down and the adtl data was being fetched from the server the page kind of flashed, i.e. the scrolling was not smooth [Ubuntu, FF].

Overall - really like it, good luck!

Man, I can't access this as work, but this sounds exactly like what I've been working on in my free time. Props to you if it's anything like I'm envisioning.

Now that I'm home and have checked it out, I'm glad to see that our ideas do differ in some ways. I do like how simple & easy to use your app is though!

It's stuck on "loading" for me when I select anyone's name. Using Chrome on Windows 8.
