some of my favorite “like * but for * instead of *” from around the web:

• like Roller, but for planets instead of blogs
• like the State Fair but for sewers instead of livestock
• like Pandora, but for beers instead of music (this one might have some promise)
• like thermostats, but for partying instead of temperature
• like pinnochio, but for joy instead of falsehoods
• like the microwave but for data instead of food (techcrunch: like a gold mine, but for lame analogies instead of gold)
• like a swear jar, but for torontocentrism instead of profanity
• like metafilter, but for itself instead of the web (whoa…)
• like beer goggles but for trees instead of ugly people
• like SETI@home, but for terrorists, instead of aliens
• like Ninjas, but for music instead of assassinations
• like Borges, but for designers instead of writers

update: tony’s list is excellent.
