Press Release Summary: Half a million movie enthusiasts rate top movies of 2007 using Trusted Opinion's Social Recommendation EngineT
Press Release Body: Palo Alto, Calif., Jan 31, 2008 - Trusted Opinion (www.TrustedOpinion.com) has published the results of 2007's top-rated movies according to its 500,000 member-strong community.
Trusted Opinion is a free online community that brings people and their network of friends together to share opinions and receive personalized recommendations around movies, TV shows, and DVDs. The company's Social Recommendation EngineT weighs the opinions of people in the user's social network highest to deliver more relevant recommendations that are targeted to user's preferences and tastes.
Movie opinions are by their nature, highly personal, and traditional critic's top-ten lists do a poor job in providing reliable recommendations to diverse, global audiences. Because Trusted Opinion delivers recommendations based on the opinions of a person's peer group, demographic factors such as age, gender, and geographic location are automatically factored into the recommendation.
