Recommendations in the context of friends and what you are subscribed to works, and we have received very good feedback from our users on it.

The analogy is TiVo – TiVo is able to start recommending once you have started watching and recording shows. Mefeedia functions the same way. We have found just asking a few questions when someone joins produces highly inaccurate results.

Like TiVo, the majority of Mefeedia users use our service to find new shows and automatically stay updated on them. Then, they download the ones they want to watch to iTunes or Miro (or watch them on Mefeedia).

I hadn’t considered you guys a recommendation site before, but I see how you could help fill the gap here.

I’d like to share this with you, though:
