Amazon has been a pioneer in bringing recommendation engines to the mainstream and is still without doubt the biggest name in this area. Netflix has been a more recent successful example, and I can think a few more off the top of my head. What are some others examples of companies that rely heavily on advanced recommendation technology ? Bonus points for companies that have written about their approach, be it on their blog, white papers or other resources. |

What about Google Ads? They suggest things to you do they not? Is that not what you meant? And, to a far lesser degree, what about tab completion on the command line? :) |

I think the most interesting example of this moving forward is going to be Facebook (and perhaps G+) which is combining social with recommendation techniques. Using a database that tells you "people who liked A also liked B" is powerful - but refining that with your friends list is really powerful. I also think the true "killer app" for this bit of science is online dating. |
