"When blogged.com officially launched earlier this year, I mentioned that its current catalog format best suited a broad demographic, and may even be one of those services that helps bridge the gap between online blog publications and the increasingly interested mainstream user.  And while I noted some existing recommendation tools employed by Blogged, there's always room for improvement, especially when you're talking about a service that acts as a directory of quality content.  \nBlogged has thus teamed up with Matchmine, the recommendation service, to provide additional recommendation tools based on its service.  Matchmine is a recommendation tool that works well for both individuals and networks.  A user can leverage their own Matchmine preference profile to see what content they'd like on any partnering site, and networks can incorporate the Matchmine recommendation tool into their own database in order to provide users with recommendations.  \nWhat's particularly notable about the Matchmine partnership with Blogged is that this is the first live partner for the blog media type.  So far, Matchmine has been teaming up with film and music networks, though its recommendation engine is built to also recommend video, along with film, music and blogs.  I discussed Matchmine's latest strategy in the recommendation arena back in March, and noted how it ties in with the larger data portability movement.  \nIn terms of being involved with data portability, Matchmine isn't shying away from the task.  But I also mentioned in a post regarding Strands' direct implementation of use cases for data portability profiles that services like Matchmine, which are providing more immediate ways in which to utilize cross-network recommendations, will continue to evolve along with recommendation options on the web."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
