I think it would be cool if the website had a section of the page that is shown while viewing a project that would suggest projects that are very alike. It would take the tags of the project and then match it to other projects. It would then display the projects with like tags. You could find other projects that are alike very easily. I think that this would be a nice addition to the scratch website.

It may be hard because tags don't always pertain to the project so closely due to the lack of quality control of the tags, but setting up a system which would link the LoveIt's and Favorites with other projects and comparing users and trends and whatnot would be time-consuming, but not very rewarding. Personally, I don't think the Scratch team would be up to it.

Sounds like a great idea...kind of like what you see on Amazon. But boinoinoi has identified some real hurdles. It would be very tough to do effectively.

Good idea, but as mentioned, the tag system get abused a lot.
