I just think that it has potential to be much more useful. Imagine how nice it would be if when you looked at paper you also got a small section &#8220;<code>Researchers who found this paper interesting also liked:<\/code>&#8220;. Likewise, it woulde be nice if you could get a page of recommondations after you had browsed around for a while.  Of course <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\">Amazon<\/a> has better data because they can more reliably track if people liked an item (if &#8220;like&#8221; is defined as &#8220;bought&#8221;:-)), and I don&#8217;t have much confidence in rating systems.<\/p>\n<p>While on the subject of search eninges.  I&#8217;ve played around with <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\">Google Scholar<\/a>. I don&#8217;t think it can replace <a href=\"http:\/\/citeseer.ist.psu.edu\">Citeseer<\/a>, yet, but it is a great supplement.  It is also interesting to compare the different results you get from <a href=\"http:\/\/citeseer.ist.psu.edu\">Citeseer<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\">Google Scholar<\/a> if you feed them the same search phrase. Based on a few tests it looks like <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\">Google Scholar<\/a> is better for finding interesting papers, which you can then feed into <a href=\"http:\/\/citeseer.ist.psu.edu\">Citeseer<\/a> to get more details.  Anyway, I&#8217;m looking forward to use <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.com\">Google Scholar<\/a> in anger for my next paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would it not be great if Citeseer was more like Amazon?
