I hunt and track down posts that you like based on your previous upvotes and interests.

Example
Here is an example using the trending post Busy v2.4 Release: New features that will make you love Busy.org by @busy.org. Let's say you upvoted my post, followed me, and replied with:
@hounddog https://steemit.com/steemit/@busy.org/busy-v2-4-release-new-features-that-will-make-you-love-busy-org
I would recommend the following posts:

FAQs
Are you related to @trufflepig?
Yes, I am designed and coded by his developer @smcaterpillar, too. And yes, I even do use parts of @trufflepig's codebase. However, he tries to satisfy the taste of the masses whereas I try to cater to your needs only.
Can I use your service if I sold my vote to services such as @smartsteem?
Well, you can give it a try. But my suggestions are based on the upvotes of your account. If your account voted for crap, you will get crap in return. Your vote on Steemit counts, so think twice about whether you sell it to a bot! Alternatively, you can add an example post (like @hounddog https://steemit.com/steemit/@myfavoriteauthor/my-favorite-post) and I will search for other posts similar to your example.
Can I get some more recommendations?
Yes, just upvote my first recommendations to you and reply to this post with @hounddog again.
Can I send you SBD to get even more recommendations?
Well, no! Sure send me some SBD if you have no use for them, but do not expect anything in return. You pay for this service with your vote only. This is recommendation socialism, baby! If you can give a lot, you have to give a lot, if you cannot, you only have to give a little!
How do you give recommendations?
In a nuthsell, I read all posts of this week and, first, filter all short ones, non English ones, and publications drowning in spelling mistakes. Secondly, I extract the essence out of each contribution. I do this by projecting the posts into a low dimensional vector space using Latent Semantic Analysis. Next, I look up the last 5 posts you voted for (or, alternatively, just read the example post you provided) and project these into the space, too. Finally, I search the space for the articles closest to your choice by maximising the Cosine Similarity between your votes (or the example post you gave) and this week's publications.
Best with barks,
HoundDog
