Sadly, I lost my corpus some time ago so until I pull more data from Twitter (I've got a script doing this as we speak) the suggestions are going to be a little weak.
The book suggestions are faded unless you mouse over them - if you click on them, you will be able to see a description of the book (as provided by Amazon.) I'll experiment with different design elements to see how I could make this more intuitive. Any suggestions?
Great to see a response. Regardless of your previous bot, seems like you have a good application now and it is worth getting off the ground. I will try it again in a couple weeks once your Corpus is rebuilt.
As far as the design, I would suggest the book icons come through in full color, and when you mouse over you could highlight them, or even better provide a short summary (just like how Netflix provides mouse over summaries of movie suggestions).
Looks much better now =)
Only other suggestion I would give is to improve the UI on that landing page. I'll be interested to see how this turns out for you. Cheers.
I have just added some stopword filtering until my corpus becomes more fully developed. Hopefully this will improve the results of the recommendations!

My keywords: "with, from, have, that"
I think the algorithm could use some work.
Also, the book suggestions are greyed out/faded. Makes me think there aren't any suggestions, you should make the icons come through in full color.

Thanks for the feedback! I've taken your advice and changed the look/highlight effect of the book icons. Check it out again and see what you think
