MY RECOMMENDER SYSTEM (AMAZON.COM)

FEB 21ST CLASS

Recently I've been looking at photography equipments of all sorts raning from cameras to camera accessories but no books. Up to now I've had an opportunity to rate over 135 items. I've probably rated about less than a dozen items which I've own. I've also include many photography items in my wish list in hopes of getting better recommendation.

About two weeks ago I did purchase two items from Amazon.com. After the purchase I realized I was getting better recommendations that was related to what was surfing for. I realized too that Amazon threw in a book among all things related to photography. The book however was not photography related. The book dealt with vegetrian. I felt Amazon was trying to get me interested in books as well as photography equipments.

I noticed too lately that even without signing in Amazon was throwing photography related items for me. It seems as if Amazon is making recommendation via my IP address. Overall I think Amazon is doing pretty good with their recommendations.

Out of 186 recommendations only one was something I didn't care about and that was a book on how to cook vegeterian.
