Default Recommendation Systems

Fun music-related site of the day - One of the earliest examples of a music recommendation engine I can recall. Marek Gibney's Music-Map was the earliest incarnation of his Gnod (Global Network of Discovery) engine. Enter an artist and it will visually cluster related artists in a text cloud.



Give it a try!

Gnod.com went on to expand and now includes recommendation systems for art, film, and literature, and has a fantastic visual product mapping system for users shopping for smartphones, tablets, and other devices.



I'm a big fan of discovery utilities, and I'll be giving the literature engine a try this evening for classic dystopian fiction and for music non-fiction.

While I usually swear by rating aggregation systems like metacritic and rateyourmusic, Marek's project has a simple but effective interface and the interactive cell phone and hard drive maps are impressively useful.

Have at it!
