Hello,

I am planning to implement a basic recommendation system that uses Facebook Connect or similar social networking site API's to connect a users profile, based on tags do an analyze and by using the results, generate item recommendations on my e-commerce site(works similar to Amazon).

I do believe I need to divide parts into such:

  1. Fetching social networking data via API's.(Indeed user allows this)

  2. Analyze these data and generate tokes.

  3. By using information tokens, do item recommendations on my e-commerce site.

Ie: I am a fan of "The Strokes" band on my Facebook account, system analyze this and recommending me "The Strokes Live" CD.

For any part(fetching data, doing recommendation based on tags...), what algorithm and method would you recommend/ is used ?

Thanks
