I was just talking about this with my friends. It really needs to integrate with friend lists in some way. Ideally, there would be a way to "devalue" a friend so their activity isn't as highly valued as other friends you have. Even more ideally, this information could be filtered automatically through a learning algorithm that increases the value of recommendations from friends you match closely. That would avoid a UI nightmare of trying to get everyone on Facebook to basically rank their friends in terms of value of their opinions.
- kingkilr 17y agoThe algorithm would need to be pretty smart though, for example I have friends who I'd trust to the end's of the earth on everything except for music, we have violently different tastes and no ability to recommend music to each other.
- fredmg 17y agoyes, you would need "liks" tagged with subjects. I do want to hear about physics links from friend Bob, but also ban any link about politics/religion.
