Let's make our saved links available for analysis

I've been thinking it would be cool if I could find people on Hacker News who are similar to me, and give their votes greater weight or something like that.

I noticed that each user's saved links are inaccessible to anyone but that user. So I was thinking people could make their saved links available for analysis by dumping them into a google spreadsheet. Here is a form which does just that: https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dDQ4WnFsYWdZSTdpeEtxN3BVQko5Zmc6MQ#gid=0

It dumps the data to this spreadsheet: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AuTZXYgRYJ96dDQ4WnFsYWdZSTdpeEtxN3BVQko5Zmc&hl=en

Once we have this data avaiable, we can do interesting things with it, such as recommending niche articles you may have missed. If this sounds cool to you, please go to the form and add your data.
