I was considering the case when you go to NetFlix, and they recomment the movie "Social Network" to you, and you click on it. Surely the url will have sufficient info to claim that its a recommendation.
Now bing implements a movie recommendation service, which also magically recommends for you "Social Network", based on clicktracking of Netflix.
IMHO, what Bing is doing with Google is exactly the same scenario as above (extract click data from a competitor's service, and surface the exact same data in their own product).
- kenjackson 16y agoOK, you're talking about a new service. Gotcha. Why wouldn't I want Bing to recommend the movie? The first thing Bing should do is use Netflix's APIs to suck down all of my ratings of movies. Then it should use my clickstream data for Netflix, IMDB, Hulu, Amazon, Facebook etc... And if I'm using Media Center or SageTV, I want those things to also get consolidated together. Are you saying you want your Netflix data in one silo, your Hulu data elsewhere, your TV data elsewhere? Don't get me wrong, I want this to all be opt-in, but when I opt-in on MY behavior, I want them to use it.
