Messing with Recommendations
Y'know, sometimes I love how Amazon's recommendations can get thrown for a loop by those "once in a blue moon" purchases, you know like things for other people, total impulse buys, or things you're only every going to buy one of for years.
Yes, I know you can tell it to ignore things. But I don't, because it's fun. Amazon seems to think that I'm a Neil Gaiman obsessed Buffy watcher who also buys Angel calendars, reads a mixture of classic SF, modern literature and erotica as well as Noam Chomsky and conspiracy theories, and who buys chick flicks on DVDs and lots of digital cameras. You know, under the next version of the Patriot Act I could probably get arrested because of that profile...
But I don't correct it... it's more fun to read the "new improved" version. Heck, if I listened to what machines recommended to me I'd be letting TiVo decide what I should be watching. Which, currently, appears to be the 60s "Spiderman" cartoon. "Is he strong? Listen bud / he's got radioactive blood."
Class.
