Recommendations Latency Issue
posted on May 25 2007
Some of the bloggers and end users have reported the issue about recommendations not updating frequently.
Latest post by Startup Squad mentions that while recommendations are getting updated when users click on the recommendations in the widget, they are not getting updated in line with the context of the article or when the user clicks on the articles on the page.
We appreciate the valuable feedback from all of you.
Minekey engine does provide recommendations based on the context of the article and the user’s browsing history. However, we have understood the reason behind the Latency issue here. Some of these blogs are using 3rd party Feed burning/ reporting services like Feed Burner; as a result the article’s URLs or Permalinks on the blog are quite different from the URLs in the feed. Hence, Minekey’s system wasn’t able to update the user clicks in these cases. We thank the Minekey users who have pointed this to us. We are working on a fix and we’ll roll it out in the next few days. Thanks for your patience. We’ll post an update as soon as we are done.
