How does the Recommendation Engine work?
The Recommendation Engine looks at your Digging activity and compares it to all the other users on the site to find the most compatible users. We call these users ‘Diggers like you’. The Recommendation Engine then highlights Upcoming stories that you may find interesting based on these ‘Diggers like you’. This means that as you Digg content that you like, the Recommendation Engine continuously updates to bring you more new and relevant stories. To understand more about how it works, you can also read about the Recommendation Engine in a white paper written by Digg’s Lead Scientist Anton Kast.
