This is a cross between a social networking site and music suggestion. It makes recommendations based on what you listen to. If I understand the system though you don't have to rate, it figures out your tastes in music via a winamp plugin.

For the foodies out there, check out Noriko Takiguchi's (so far) five part series on 'How to Eat Sushi Properly' (links to earlier parts at bottom of the linked post). Not only does the series deliver on the title, but she also passes along tidbits such as the history of our epicurean debt to Yohei Hanaya, and the names of the best sushiyas in the Bay Area, with a little assist from commenters.
