I’ve written about collaborative filtering before, and over the last year I have been watching how Google have been slowly incorporating it into their insights for search tools. Google website [...]

Some music trends

By Dhiren | Published: May 3, 2009
I was interested to see which music website or web application was the most popular out of all my current favourites: Is blip.fm slowly losing the battle? I also started researching DJ Shadow, apparently he’s quite big in Poland — I had no idea! Poszanowanie!
