That's what I figured; I guess I'm a little flabbergasted that this sort of thing isn't particularly rare; for example, Netflix, Google Music, Last.fm and everybody else will recommend something to you and then say "based on watching X Y and Z" which is kind of what we're talking about here, right?

So how is that different than what's going on here? Because in reading what I can understand, it doesn't look like a mile-high "here's how you convince the savages to like you" it looks deeper than that. So is the magic in the generation of the simpler model?
