Yea. This is a wart. I'll be fixing it.

These recommendations are from people I follow, and I'll be gradually adding people one recommendation a time.

I couldn't find relevant information on Google for Billy G. Do you mind sharing his profile?

Yea. I built the basic idea. I'll be building features one by one. Thanks for the feedback.

I want myself and others to contribute because of the desire to contribute. I don't want to bring affiliates into the equation lest it brings the wrong incentives (however glimmering it may be).

There are other ways to make money.

Thanks for checking my project. Glad HNers loved it. I had a great day.

Thanks to Alexander and Michiel for pointing me to Knuth's and Keith's recommendations.

I'm signing off for today. I'll reply to new comments (if any) tomorrow.

Have a great day : )

I agree. I settled on the word good because I wasn't able to find a good word (no pun intended).

Thanks for the suggestion. I will.

I take tips to good recommendations at aj@abyjames.com : )

I agree. The hack I'm using is PeopleRank (check my comment above).

Thanks for the feedback. It is on my to build list. Bumped it up : )

Yea. This is a wart. I'll be fixing it.

It is (but I see it is not obvious). Click on the person's name.

I changed the header name from person to source. Does that make it obvious?

I'm gonna use a different hack: PeopleRank. Example: If Paul Graham recommends a person, then I'll add all their recommendations.

It is 1 or 0 : )

It is. Left aligning that header makes it look weirder. This looks better (IMO).

Glad you found it useful : )

I see. Hmm. Thanks for the feedback.

Haha. Love it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm building one useful feature a time.

No to amazon affiliates.

Doing the right thing makes good money.

You can search in tags (example: Philosophy, Book), but it doesn't do what you are looking for.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it.

Haha. True. That should change once I add recommendations from people from different backgrounds. Maria Popova is not going to recommend The Mythical Man-Month : )

Uncompromising focus on people.

I don't mind if the site is stagnant.

Email saved. Thanks.

Hack: You can search for a book (The Mythical Man-Month) and see who all recommended it.

This is a passion project for me so making money is not the priority.

That is a feature (in my book). Search for The Mythical Man-Month tells me that the book is recommended by Marc Benioff, Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood. That is valuable information for me and tells me that I should read the book as soon as possible : )

I agree on smile.amazon.com.

All valid points which I too am pondering on but don't have clear answers.

I checked your profile but couldn't find an email to contact you. I'd love to discuss details once I have written down my thoughts.

The design is deliberate. I love the old web too : )

That is a lovely idea. Let me sit on the suggestion.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see how I can make it obvious.

I'm working on it. Would love to get feedback once I build the feature. I checked your profile but couldn't find an email to contact you.
