This is my first time hearing about DirectedEdge: very cool stuff!
I watched the video and it looks like you guys have a great thing going on. I'd like to make a suggestion, if I may: prove that this isn't just for "similar users also bought". Prove that everybody should be doing recommendations for practically anything.
Here's one idea: call the Reddit guys. Use your recommendation engine to recommend articles, subreddits, and users I might like based on my up-votes. Ask them if they would be willing to show "Recommendations Powered by DirectedEdge.com" on there. Hit it out of the park with one partner and you'll have other people lining up to use your platform!

But for me, it never got past being a version of the front page with a different decay algorithm (even to the point that it included stuff I'd read and/or downvoted). So this would be a little like the Yahoo/Bing deal.
