The Problem With Recommendations

July 6, 2009 – 11:23 am

Andrew (Rummbles CEO) has today written a post on his personal blog discussing the problems with recommendation services. Prompted by an article on the Telegraph website, perhaps not surprisingly Andrew is arguing that in the enthusiasm for getting recommendations from your peers, we’ve forgotten that it is not whether you know the person that defines a good recommendation, it is whether you trust understand their tastes or trust their opinion.

We’re quite glad he thinks that, because that is what Rummble is all about: not your social network, but your trust network!
