> Is everyone seeing the same ones? Did Justin pick them out for me? Are my friends listening to these guys? I have no context here. I don’t understand why they’re recommended. I decide to move on.
Does it still surprise people when they are getting personalized-recommendations when they use Facebook Connect sites?

- andypants 14y agoIt's like you didn't even read the sentences you quoted. The author's point was that these recommendations were not personalized.
- flexxaeon 14y agoCould have been personalized when she signed in via Facebook
- richforrester 14y agoThat's the point. They COULD have, but they WEREN'T.
- flexxaeon 14y agoThey probably were "personalized" but just missed the mark badly, which wouldn't surprise me. Like the post says, there was "no context".
- richforrester 14y agoWell, I doubt they were. Especially since I signed up myself and like anything Metal/rock but got nothing but Beyonces and Timberlakes suggested for myself as well. That's also what I took from the article; it doesn't take into account FB likes.
- SoapSeller 14y agoMaybe it was the author's point, maybe it wasn't. All I read is questions about why and context, like the author expect some kind of explanation. She doesn't comment about the content itself, which is part of the whole closed-mind attitude of the article.
