Recommendations by TasteBroker

There aren’t many facts to foster this assumption but I strongly believe that APML will be a crucial format in commerce within the next few years. Amazon’s recommendations should give you a hint of what’s to be expected. You know their slogan: “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” already.
Actually that’s what APML is all about. Just imagine if Amazon and Last.fm supported it: You could import your APML file from Amazon to Last.fm and listened to a customized radio station based on your CD purchases from Amazon. On the other hand you could import your Last.fm file and got recommendations of CDs you could buy from Amazon.
If you want to get a glimpse of what’s to be expected have a look at TasteBroker. Enter your Last.fm, Pandora or del.icio.us username and see what’s possible already. TasteBroker is an experimental project by Sun’s Paul Lamere.
