Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. - Louis D. Brandeis

Amazon's Recommendation System

Ever since Amazon.com unveiled their system to recommend new items to the consumer, I've found some pretty good books and CD's that I might not otherwise have found. However, this is the first time I've ever had something like this recommended to me by Amazon's system. Now, leaving aside the whole issue of purchasing this type of item over the internet (which strikes me a bit weird to begin with) instead of making a trip to the local store, why does it base this on my rating of a Linksys router. I mean, if you stick with social norms and perceptions, wouldn't someone buying computer equipment be more likely to not have a need for them than someone that's buying, let's say, the Kama Sutra. I guess I just found it too amusing not to post about it.
