Abstract
The description relates to determining tiles of interest to a user. One example includes a computing device comprising a display, a user input receiving means, and a processing means. The processing means is configured to render on the display a first plurality of tiles each having a respective value of a first classification. The processing means is configured to receive from the user input receiving means a first user input indicating user interest in a first tile of the first plurality of tiles, the first tile having a first value of the first classification. The processing means is configured, in response to receiving the first user input, to render on the display a second plurality of tiles each having a respective value of a second classification and being related to the first tile by having a value of the first classification within a threshold similarity of the first value.
