Hacker News Reader

I am trying to figure out the best recommendation engine available? I am looking at Drupal's Content Recommendation Engine Module and Solr Search for http://drupal.org/project/cre http://drupal.org/project/solr it depends on the choices that are being made on the interface...and i thought would ask Hacker News their thoughts?

oh ok you meant content recommendation engine to provide links to other relevant articles. The ideal use for solr would be as a faceted search engine, though you can use it as a recommendation engine with some hackery. But if you are looking for a plug and play recommendation engine that is built to recommend other relevant articles I guess the first one should be more relevant.

thanks

Check out http://directededge.com - an YC startup that provides recommendations as a web service.

hi clay, Could you be more specific. Solr is intended to be used as a search engine(faceted) and I think it has the ability to recommend similar documents(not exactly sure if you could do this through the API). Is this what you are looking for???
