A feature I want on goodreads is "for me and a friend, show me the rarest book we have read in common". It would be great to find connections between people that would be hard to discover otherwise.
Same thing for groups - it's fun to try to find the "rarest common denominator" in the books, movies, or places visited domain.
- karaterobot 7y agoI'm not a Goodreads user, but this is something you can definitely do with Librarything. For any user in the system with a public collection, you can find the intersection of your books and sort by the number of members who own them (as well many other things). The interface is a little wonky, but very powerful.
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoAmazon has something somewhat related long ago called "Someone like you" that would show you books purchased by people who had similar previous reading purchases. It was odd to see someone had purchased the same combination of OpenGL books, cookbooks, and sociopolitical books as me. The recommendations that resulted were pretty good but I suspect privacy concerns ended it.
- ernesth 7y ago> for me and a friend, show me the rarest book we have read in common Got to your Friends page (https://www.goodreads.com/friend https://www.goodreads.com/friend), click on "Compare books" in front on the friend with which you want to compare. You will see the list of books you have in common sorted by inverse popularity.
