I didn't get to see the tool. It found other HNers with similarities to an user?

Yes. Based on the terminology users used, and the types of threads they commented on, who else commented on those threads, etc.

There was a fair amount of discussion of the tool here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1046301

Oooh more than 3 months ago. Wish I could have played it, people on the thread had fun.

Anyway, congratulations on the execution. Now this submission which we're having this conversation makes more sense :)
