I get that recommendations are a big deal. But YouTube itself already DOES have recommendations, on the home page if you're logged in! If a service like this catches on, YouTube could replace it overnight, especially as they have data on what you (and the people you correspond with, via Google) enjoy watching. The Pandora analogy has been thrown around a fair deal, and it is flawed. Pandora does not play and recommend content that is owned and managed by exactly one company.
