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.
