It is definitely a big deal to write scalable, fast and a good recommendation engine. Item level collaborative filtering is easy to write - but anything beyond that will require significant effort.
- jacquesm 17y ago> It is definitely a big deal to write scalable, fast and a good recommendation engine. I know, I've invested $30K US in to a dutch company that does this for one special interest field. It took them quite a bit of time to get it working perfectly. One very big reason why I'm so impressed with Directed Edge. And why I think they'll make it big.
- paraschopra 17y agoYup, providing easy to use API for developers to do recommendations can be a breakthrough. But I believe DirectedEdge has a ton of sales job to do in terms of convincing developers to take it up. They would need case studies and whitepapers where they demonstrate how plugging in their engine increased revenues by X% and engagement by Y and what ROI can they expect. Nothing sells like numbers!
