Help! please

[Matt, e-monk]

back in the files someone posted a link to a site that upon entry of an author's name would then create a constellation of other authors around it who had shared subjects or themes or were otherwise in some fashion related - you could then click on any of those names and a new constellation would be generated

does anyone remember the name of that site?

perfect - thanks JE

[Jonathan, the skipper]

my pleasure . . . i took the opportunity to revisit the site!

[Jennifer, hot tamale]

oh man - this is neat! i hadn't seen it before - coulda really used this when i worked at the library. very useful tool. thanks.

[Jonathan, the skipper]

. . .man, i wanna' get on this map . . . all the fiction files authors need to be on this map . . . when you punch in a name and it isn't there, it allows you to suggest an author . . . i'll go suggest ff autors if somebody else will suggest me . . .

[Matt, e-monk]

I'll add you tonight

[Jonathan, the skipper]

. . .thanks! just put it keith, jimb, greg d, and will go back for patrick and others . . .

[Matt, e-monk]

I put you in but you arent showing up yet

[Matt, e-monk]

looks like more suggestions from more sources may help our favorite authors get added

[Jonathan, the skipper]

. . . yeah, i think you're right, matt . . . it takes multiple suggestions, so if we are to put our fictionphiles "on the map" a few people are going to make suggestions . . .

Well, you're showing now JE. Also David Liss. That's pretty neat. I went with the ff book shelf. If anyones book isn't shelved someone should do that.

[Jonathan, the skipper]

. . .wierd, that i should be right by sam lipsyte, who blurbed my book . . . so, i;m gathering the system has more to do with reading proclivities than literary DNA, since when i enter in other ff authors it asks me who else i like . . .

[Jonathan, the skipper]

also, J.P. is currently the number 1 suggestion, so it looks like we're doing our work . . .

. . .yeah, that is wierd . . . for keith it asked me that, but for JPO it didn't . . . a little confusing . . .

. . . i think so to . . . i think the more input they get across the board, the more valuable a resource it could be . . .

So I chose the let gnod find a new author for me. I entered 3 Authors I like. Stephen King, Jonathan Evison and Terry Brooks. It suggested Sam Lipsyte. ?? I guess I'll haveto check him out.
