January 17, 2006: Book Rank

http://www.findability.org/archives/000090.php

Chris McEvoy, the man behind the Userati, has created an interesting new
mashup called Book Rank. Here's how it works:

1. Take a single book from Amazon as a root.
2. Take the recommended books for that book.
3. Repeat until you have reached a distance of 20 from the original book.
4. Add up the number of recommendations for each book.
5. Calculate BookRank from the Distance, Recommendations, SalesRank.
6. Display the 250 books with the highest BookRank.

Seems like a useful, novel way to find books.
