The Getting Started Blurb…
The Filter is a great place for discovering new music, films and web videos that match your taste. By playing, rating or sharing things on The Filter, the recommendation engine that powers the website can gain a deep understanding of your personal likes and dislikes and turn you onto new entertainment that you’re likely to love. For the work shy, we’ve developed a few tools that will quickly help The Filter gain that “deep personal understanding” (oh yes) about your music and movie tastes.
The Filter: Desktop (for Mac and PC)
Download our tiny application and you’ll be able to make instant playlists for your iPod in iTunes, and we’ll also learn about your listening tastes and so improve your recommendations. Get The Filter for Mac. Get The Filter for Windows.
Sync your Last.fm or Flixster profiles
If you’re already into these services, you can import your Last.fm preferences to kick-start your music recommendations, and import your flixster.com profile to help us know your movie tastes.
That’s all. Feel free to send me some recommendations and stuff, but be nice!
Bernie.
