SimilarSites Helps You Find Related Sites
Take the work out of finding sites related to the one you’re browsing. SimilarSites is a user-ranked search engine designed to return a list of the most similar web sites.
Plug in a web site at SimilarSites or by using their Firefox extension SimilarWeb and you’re presented with a list of related web sites. For each site on the list you can give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. While our test searches returned fairly accurate results there were a few items in each search that definitely merited a thumbs down. In addition if you find a site in your search results that you’re interested in you can run a SimilarSites search on that site with a single click. If you’d like to find site suggestions by keyword instead of using an existing site as your source, check out previously reviewed Youlicit to find related web sites by keyword searches.

Isn't it only on Google toolbar? I really missed that after I've decided to not use any toolbar to declutter my FF..

I remember Netscape's mammoth-ware, 4.7 Communicator had this feature available for the sidebar. I used it a great deal and found more than several worthy sites because of it. Those were the days....it took about 2 overnights unless your ISP knocked you offline. The days when Netscape was king. I can remember people buying Netscape in Best Buy. It came in a box with a large manual.
This was about the time CNET rolled out its SNAP! page. Does anyone remember that? It reminds me of Bing.
This looks like a nifty search engine. And thanks, B1663R, I did not know Xmarks had that alternative sites feature. That is very handy.
Much obliged. =)

when foxmarks upgraded to Xmarks i was happy to see that if you click on the little man in the blue box in the wonder bar in firefox, alternate sites show up...
Isn't google "Similar pages" the same thing? Or at least pretty close...

Wow, this actually passed my obscurity test (well-known MUD, but a -MUD-); which, btw, Google Squared failed.
