i’ve written a guest post at read/writeweb taking a look at the beta release of the digg recommendation system.

after months of promises (and third party tools), digg finally announced this week that their recommendation engine is to be released. today, digg has delivered the goods to private beta testers. here are the first screenshots of the new digg recommendation engine features, along with a video guide.

check out the complete guide.

i’ve written a guest post at read/writeweb on the importance of collaborative filtering and recommendation systems.

the (cf) system is without a doubt the lifeblood of the social web. even though different platforms apply it to varying extents, the system is still there at the core, and the social web would look more like rush hour in downtown Lahore if the community wasn’t actively policing the traffic.

give readwriteweb a visit for the whole article. if you’re feeling really generous, give us a digg.
