Stuff I like is no good for me.

More and more sites are starting to pattern match my tastes with other people then using that to suggest things that I may like. This is good in a way as I point out websites, music or podcasts that I like then the service would suggest other things that I may want.

This is good for finding things on my level but it misses the option to push me. To suggest things that I may like but that are better for me. The things that are within my topic range but are a little above me in the level of content. How can it pull in the level of the podcast as well. It would be good if you could rate the item with a "I like it" and also a "This is too simple" or "This is too complex" button. Then you could ask for a selection of stuff that is a bit too complex for yourself so that it would be pusing you a little.

Still it could be worse there could only be the option to see the "most popular" and I would be left with a load of cats doing silly things and clips of big brother.
