this is tough, one of the many solutions

lets say a user watched the movie Troy

and lets say the recommendation engine has millions of movies to choose from then each movie behaves like a app or an element with points of characteristics in them like
genere, timestamp, popularity, ratings and the over all points
ex:
movie Click
genere- comedy – 50
timestamp- recent- 40
popularity- 20
rartings- 40
overall- 150

now all movies/apps have a lifecycle or their presence in front of movie troy which is random. Now if click happens to come up it is then matched against troy against various characteristics and overall ratings and based on the percentage score the movie is recommended.

I am really amazed that yahoo is undertaking such an
enormous project.You people could not solve the simple
problems that I asked to have solved.I guess they were
not as important.If many people experience these
difficulties you might have to find ways to satisfy
some disgruntled customers if you plan on staying in
business.I have been a long time customer.I am beginning
to wonder why.

The Netflix is considerably getting better the exactness of predictions about how much somebody is going to love a movie, and Netflix is doing great so far, with the help of yahoo team one can at least consider that yahoo can achieve what they are up to.
