Greater Greater Washington now has automatically-generated links to related posts. If you look at a page for an individual post, below the text and above the comments, you will now see a few (up to 5) links to related posts. They'll also appear at the bottom of each post for those reading via RSS. Pages with a list of posts, like the home page, don't show related posts right now.

An algorithm automatically generates them by comparing the text of the post and the tags to those of other posts. If you see any strange behavior or errors, please post it as a comment here.

What do you think? Is this useful? Should the related posts also show up on the front page or elsewhere?
