Hunch learns about you and answers your questions
I'm not quite sure how Hunch works, except that it asks you questions -- usually 10 or less -- that help you narrow down your decision. As more users start populating the site with information about who they are and what they like, it will get better at making "taste profiles" for each individual user, and thus providing better hunches. It's an interesting idea that could definitely catch on, especially with a founder who's got such a great track record. Hunch is offering sign-ups via email now, so go get on the list if it sounds interesting to you.
