This: Fuck yes.

I see two very interesting things going on right now.

One is the impact of social networks on the way products and services are marketed and sold. Scientists and programmers have worked long and hard on recommendation algorithms: you know, those features on websites that say, honestly, those programs are not always very accurate, are they? However, if a friend tells me that I might like a song or movie or TV show… well, that’s another story. The accuracy of the social network as a recommendation engine is quite mind-boggling.
