List of companies that provide Behavioral Recommendations and Social Recommendations Web Services

Do you have an ecommerce site or a site where the website (or users) recommend different items or content to each other? If you’ve been building it out on your own you know how difficult it was. Back in Web 1.0 NetPerceptions was the top dog, but they’re no longer around (Amazon was a big client of theirs)

David Marks the co-founder and CEO of Loomia has been chatting with me and has told me all the people in his space, I really appreciate him being so open to talk about his competitors, true community marketing. I was able to see a demo of Criteo yesterday.

One of the inversions his market has is that after showing an increase in sales, is that it’s a pay-for-performance, whereas in earlier times it was pay in advance.
