Chinwag Live: Search vs Recommendation

Chinwag Live: Search vs Recommendation

Competitive or collaborative? Are search and recommendation chalk and cheese or will they seamlessly blend?

Are search and recommendation two ends of a spectrum with all information discovery tools somewhere in between? Recommendation sites need search engines so people can discover their content. But what about when users become regular visitors to recommendation sites? Could these visitors abandon search altogether, or do people use search and recommendation for different things?

How can brands capitalise on recommendation sites? Is there a significant difference between trusted communities and the wisdom of crowds? A big gap between recommendation and aggregation - personal reviews and engine-generated suggestions?

In turn, where does impartiality come in? Can the lure of affiliate revenue affect non-user-generated recommendations, or the hierarchy of results?

Join us to explore the issues and opportunities surrounding the overlapping search and recommendation space.
