DISQUS

VentureBeat: Baynote, Strands, RichRelevance — will they survive the “recommendation engine” consolidation?

    Didn't Amazon recently release their "Page Recommender" as a web service for afilliates? Basically, affiliates can now turn on Amazon's personalization engine towards pages within their website. Probably a lot more to come here..which means more bad news for this very crowded space of venture backed recommendation companies.

    I think its just a widget... Where do you see this as a Web Service?

    Ah, you're right. Web service was speculation: http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/07/amazon-page-re...

    Is there anyone in this space that is not doing this as a SaS, but as purchased software instead? With all the competition and probable consolidation I hate to invest time and money in something that may not be available next month or next year.
