Hi,
I didn't know whether to mark this as a feature request or a support request, because I don't know whether Affinity Matches already takes into account Sections and Tags within which the voting takes place. If not, I strongly believe that it should.
If Mary voted for 17 times for content that is in the Section "Science" and Tags "Physics" and "Maths" , I think it indicates that she is very _interested_ in these topics. Therefore, it would be a better match if Affinity Matches module would ALSO take into account the Sections and Tags of content where she voted positively and match those against voters who votes similarly in the same sections and tags.
For example, if you look at the way that Digg.com makes the matching, it constantly tries to profile the user based on the sections within which he/she voted, and make the matches accounting for the topics that he/she is interested in, rather than just a simple match of who votes similarly overall.

More good ideas!
