I'm working on an experimental web-based feed reader[1], and in our next release we would like to feature collaborative filtering-based article recommendation. For starters, articles will be recommended to you based on how similar they are to other articles that either you or people you're following have starred. I am just getting started reading up on mahout and the problem space in general[2], and thought I would inquire here about whether it would be a good choice for us. Thanks! Josh
P.S. Do you guys hang out in an IRC channel by any chance? [1] http://melkjug.org, http://melkjug.openplans.org/about [2] http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529321/
