Nice. I really like the idea of making recommendations via links between things. That's how I've discovered some of my favorite stuff. (e.g. Band A says that Band B was a huge inspiration)
I agree with @alexgilmore0811 that the initial suggestions weren't a great match for me.
Are you guys pulling any Likes from Facebook when users sign up? Any plans to pull data from other services as a fast way to build up the initial list of likes? (books read and rated 3+ stars from Goodreads, liked music from Spotify or Last.fm, etc)
@mattfogel Hey Matt. Thanks for the <3 and suggestion. Yep, Facebook Likes on signup is definitely in the pipeline.
Great Links BTW!

This is brilliant and innovative! I just fell in love. Android app in your roadmap?
I miss the option to add places which aren't venues, things like a mountain or a beach...Foursquare falls too short in that sense.
Hey Product Hunters!
I'm Nathan, the founder of Kindrd.
I'll be here all day (across 3 timezones!) to answer any questions you may have.
Kindrd was born out of a long lasting dissatisfaction with discovery engines. For me the recommendations were too often very obvious, or plain wrong. On top of that, the idea of using algorithms to try predict something as human as our taste in music, film etc. never sat well with me. So I decided to try and make something better.
Hopefully Kindrd will become somewhere you can come to receive smarter, more interesting recommendations, as well as a place you can share you're knowledge with other passionate people.

Didn't you also have an iOS app? Does that still exist?
@ninthart Hey Brad. Yes we started out as an iOS app. Actually, I remember you're profile pic from those days. We canned the app for now. It was are first attempt at turning the idea into a product and we weren't that happy with the outcome. We wanted more screen real estate and a wider audience so we decided to rebuild on the web. But we will be coming back to mobile eventually.
