These are the connections you can make:

= 'similar to' means that you think (guess what?) item A is like item B

eg The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga is similar to La Roux by La Roux

> 'influenced by' means that you think item A was influenced by item B

eg Definitely Maybe by Oasis was influenced by Revolver by the Beatles

< 'followed by' is the opposite of 'influenced by'

eg Revolver by the Beatles was followed by Definitely Maybe by Oasis.

Reciprocal connections

When you make a connection, Filtersage automatically creates the reciprocal connection.

For example, when you say "The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga is similar to La Roux by La Roux",
Filtersage creates "La Roux by La Roux is similar to The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga".

Or, when you say "Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino was influenced by Kiss Me Deadly by Robert Aldrich",
Filtersage creates "Kiss Me Deadly by Robert Aldrich was followed by Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino".
