As for the Clustering/Recommendations: You are absolutely right that the user gives away the control to an algorithm. I therefore think the key lies in presenting the recommendations so it makes sense to the user. I think that’s why delicious’ recommendations don’t really work. While trying out delicious’ recommendations I was sitting there with the question “why is this recommended to me?”

I might not find the examples the best but I definetely understand the key message you’re bringing up and I’m definetely learning a bit more on methods of implementations to address different user scenarios. :)

Cheers.

Very interesting approach. I really like the idea, the tag-cloud could do with some visual changes. Thanks for pointing it out.

By applying multiple facets, I can easily target my browsing to only those clothes that are A) my size, B) in my price range, C) for males, D) the type of clothes I’m interested in (brand, style or color).

More importantly, it will remember these selections after I’ve added something to my shopping cart so I can Continue Shopping within the same facets.

For this particular type of e-commerce, it works wonders.

I wrote a paper about visual tag clustering (with del.icio.us data):
Improving Tag-Clouds as Visual Information Retrieval Interfaces
