Bloglines related feeds

Bloglines now shows related feeds for any feed. Interesting and a fun way to discover new blogs.

On a related note, Bloglines feed recommendations, which are based on your blog subscriptions, seem to be much better lately. I was shocked to see the blogs of people I used to work with at Amazon.com on the top of the list of recommendations. Impressive.

There's a good overview here if you want more information:
