Mahout in eCommerce

[Raymond Richardson <ex...@yahoo.com>]

Hello All, 
I looked at the "Powered by Mahout" page on the Mahout website, and didn't see 
anyone who seemed to be using Mahout as an item-based recommender on any of 
those sites. Does anyone know of a eCommerce site that uses Mahout for 
item-based recommendations? 

Thanks, 

-- Ray

Item based recommenders wind up the most common production style of
recommendation so even people who say they are using user-based
recommendation often switch shortly thereafter.  The benefits of off-line
computation become too important to ignore.

Well there is Amazon starting to use Mahout and I personally know of 
companies using it that are not willing to publicly talk about it.
