Strange Relations

BoingBoing pointed at this clever tool which uses Google to show sites that are related to other sites.

Which is really pretty, but ...

Well, it works off the Google "related:" keyword. And I am trying to figure out how the heck this blog related to these people.

Of the sites listed there, I see literary authors I don't think I've ever mentioned, TV shows I think I watched once, tech sites that aren't anything I use, and columnists I don't recall ever reading. There are a couple of matches with some folks I do read (and quote from), but also quite a number of blogs that are nothing like what I write, read, or ones that I haven't been liked to for over a year.

It is a puzzlement.
