I don't know what your professor would think about it, but I would like to see a feature like 'stumbleupon', but for TV shows and based on what you are already recording. 'if you like these shows and/or hate these, you may like these suggestions: blah, blah, blah' I guess it would probably be farfetched to be compiler related. I guess it would be more a client/server or peer-to-peer communication protocol and database (for the stumbleupon profiles and/or correlation matrices) with matching based on show name/type, and/or actors.
