Amazon (why does that look wrong capitalized?) Because you're used to typing it in an URL where it's not capitalized?!
Yes, I have the same sort of love/hate thing with the recommendations -- I should hate it (and I remember there was an advert some years ago for Marks and Sparks about something very similar -- they would analyse what skirt in what size and what colour you bought, so as to be able to have more stuff you'd like -- I was horrified by that) but actually it works so well I have to like it. Very successful for them it must be.
I have actually bought (and enjoyed) one or two CDs on the basis that they've turned up in recommendations. Can't name a specific example though.
