Lumi is the latest venture from two of the three founders of Last.fm, a popular Internet radio service that keeps track of what you listen to and then recommends new tunes based on your tastes. Similarly, Lumi is a browser plug-in that tracks the websites you visit and suggests other sites it believes you’ll enjoy. This service is now in a private alpha test with around 1,000 users, including me. It doesn’t require the user to do anything beyond installing the plug-in (it works on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome). You can then navigate the Web normally—and when you want to see Lumi’s suggestions, you simply log in on its site and take a look.
