I think if they let more users into the beta, it'll improve - and with some time as well. Hopefully, the ratings with other users will use more than a month as the system progresses. I've noticed that Diggers with 1,000s of diggs in a month seem to be getting higher compatibility percentages (i.e. 30-50%), while diggers with a few hundred (I've got 420 in the past month) got 7-13% ratings with other users. A 9% actually put you at like #8 on my list.
But, the recommended posts I've been getting are great - and the friend recs are spot on. Of course, it helps that my digging activity has been 100% organic for the past month.
And, I wish I knew how to fix the spy. I think the issues on their end. I've tried it with multiple browsers, on multiple platforms, and multiple machines. I get the same freezing after 30 seconds. It got so annoying I moved onto friends' upcoming diggs. Been an issue for over a month now. That retarded "bury recorder" has been down as well. It was using the spy.
