		<description>Aggregate Knowledge has much room for improvement; I could not find any tutorials or code samples which makes me think they’re an Alfa startup or there service costs is so huge that they don’t want to scare would be users away.   

 In my experience http://Loomia.com was easy to integrate and the feedback I have gotten from my customers is amazing.  We use the Loomia service to create restaurant recommendations.  You can see it in full action at http://sfSurvey.com, which is the largest restaurant review resource ever created for San Francisco, with over 14,500.  What’s cool about the Loomia service, is that we dynamically export each users previous dining experiences and then make recommendations of what user might like based on other peoples experiences, thus uncovering delicious new restaurants.  The Loomia system adds to our user’s experience, thus creating a stronger over all brand loyalty, I would expect to see more sites going to this type of service in the near future.</description>

		<description>There is a huge opportunity for Ebay, and presumably therefore other companies, in this space.  If Ebay had the recommendation engine of Amazon, it would bring 3-7% or so additional to their bottom line, IMO.</description>

		<description>Chris, are you guys waiting until you hire two VP's to announce pricing?

If I was taking on one of those roles, I'd have a package for the very large sites, and a self-serve option (ala Google Adwords) for the smaller sites. If integration really is that easy, and if your service is any good, the ROI case would be good even for small businesses.

As it is, I'll assume you guys are too expensive (I don't enter restaurants that don't show prices on their menu), and stick to my plan of writing my own recommendation engine or adapting an OSS package.</description>

		<description>Pretty cool to see all these new ideas coming up. Too bad they don't have a demo to try out the system... I came accross something similar lately at criteo.com. You rate movies and apparently it learns from you and can recommend you interesting movies. Good stuff !</description>

I had the same problem, but it turned out to be a simple typo in the mailto: link on their contact page.  Looks like you can reach them at info@aggregateknowledge.com.</description>

		<description>Tried emailing Aggregate Knowledge to get more info and the emails kept bouncing back. Maybe they don't need to  generate revenues anymore since they raised some money?</description>

		<description>Grrr.. no clear pricing on Aggregate Knowledge's site. Loomia is a bit cagey but has more information and seems more accessible to the very small webmasters. Why aren't these guys up front about who they are marketing to, and what price ranges they're in? This is understandable in most old industries, but not for web-centric startups.</description>

		<description>This looks like a blatant rip-off of Amazon.com's reccomendation features.  In fact it looks like a screeen shot from an Amazon page.</description>
