How Similar Are You?

Today we added similarity scores. In case you’re wondering what that is, it’s a comparison of how similar you are to others on UpGuppy and how close someone else’s ranking of a specific topic is to yours.

You can see the similarity scores at work in two spots. The first is when you first log-in. To see this feature in action, you obviously have to rank a few lists (and the more the better!). You can see here that Alex Acree is my closest friend. We’ve ranked a ton of the same lists and tend to rank those things similarly.



The second is by clicking at the link just below any ranking. Again, you’ve got to rank the list. Here is how close my friends are to me in their ranking of Obama’s best Vice-Presidential candidates (which, by the way, my buddy Alex nailed).


Let us know what you think. We're working on developing better ways of displaying the data, which we should have out soon.
