Hunch

Hunch is a very interesting site. It is basically a recommendation tool, and it gets smarter or more in tune with your preferences as you use it. In order for it to get to know you’ll have sign up for an account, but you can use it as is without an account.

To register, you’ll need to click the Sign In link, and then click the Create Account link. Now you’ll be on the registration form where you will create a username and password, as well as, provide and e-mail address and then click the Create My Account button. This will automatically sign you in and you can start teaching Hunch your preferences.

I recommend checking out the FAQ, it answers a lot of the basic questions that I could come up with and I found it helpful.

For those of you who don’t want to register you can type something in the search field that you would like to get a recommendation about, or just type in a question and see what it comes up with.

But once you’ve taken the plunge and signed up, after you sign in Hunch will start asking you questions to get to know you. For example, it will show you a series of images and you pick the one you like the best. I found this to be amazingly fun, and interesting that it would reveal something about me. Okay, they might be slightly addicting to answer.

This a great site to open up your horizons with, you’ll never know what they might recommend until you try it out.

For example, I’m looking for a new headset. I’ve broke my Logitech gaming set, and I don’t want to get the same pair because I’ve already replaced this style once. So I type in gaming headphones, and a plethora of topics came up for me to check out.
