Where's the data coming from? Amazon has a huge amount of data in terms of user JoeBob bought these books, claimed to own those books, and put that third group of books on his Wishlist. We don't have that.
The same way Netflix built up its recommendations. Ask people to rate. (And Amazon goes by user ratings as well as purchases.) Sure, it would be slow, and the first iterations would be riddled with errors. But it's not as if it were a new technology at this point. -- Karen Lofstrom
