I'm making a web site for giving anime recommendations based on your myanimelist.net profile. It's pretty ugly but functional at the moment (if you're good with html/css and want to help, let me know).
It works by having a list of MAL users that represent a broad spectrum of taste in anime. Those users' MAL lists will be stored in a database and updated daily. When someone wants recommendations, the site checks their compatibility with all recommendors in the database. The 5 recommendors with the highest compatibility along with their recommendations are displayed.
For testing, I've just been using myself and my MAL friends. For the real site, I need ~100 recommendors to maximize the chance of there being a good match for anyone.
If you have a myanimelist.net profile with at least 50 completed and rated animes and don't mind random people being linked to your MAL profile, post your MAL usernameas well as the minimum score required for you to consider an anime that you have seen "recommended".
Ugly or not, I'd like to go live around new year's.
Thanks!
EDIT: minimum score required to consider an anime "recommended" is no longer required. The system will use all recommendors' top 35% of animes completed and rated.
