The internet offers a good way to expand your horizons by discovering new videos and movies. However, not all that we come across on social media sites are suited to your tastes. The Filter is a media discovery website that allows to explore cool movies, web videos and music based on what you like.

It bases its recommendations on how you rate an artist or movie, through The Filter application that sends information by monitoring your music library, and through your Last.fm and Flixter account.

To get started with The Filter, sign up for an account. Then you need to update your feed by searching for an artist or movie in the website. The site recommends that you rate at least seven items in order to get accurate suggestions. The more times you rate, the more useful the web app will be for you.

After setting up your account, you will immediately receive music and video feeds in your homepage that are already “filtered” for your preference. As you view and rate artists, music, and videos, the more The Filter learns about what you like which makes the recommendations more personalized. Furthermore, you can view and adjust the Filter’s analysis of your taste in the “˜Taste Cloud’ section where you can view visual representations.

Features:

• Discover new music, movies, and web videos according to your tastes.
• The more you use the site, the more personalized your recommendations become.
• Import your Last.fm and Flixter account.
• Download The Filter application to monitor your music library.
