Easy recommendations
A project that I have been working on during my employment as a development team manager at VeriSign has been the base for an open source version:
EasyRec enables you to include item recommendations based on the behaviour of your website users.
From their website:
- User Actions are sent to the easyrec using the REST API. Possible actions are viewing, buying or rating an item.
- These user actions are stored in the database of the Recommendation Engine.
- The provided Analyzers periodically analyze all recorded data for identifying patterns to generate recommendations.
- These Recommendations can be accessed through calls to the easyrec webservice API and presented to a user.
I left VeriSign in 2008, so it will be quite interesting for me to see how it evolved.
