Regarding the Social bookmarking app, we want to take a recommendation system appoach, so we set the boards, and as new content gets posted, we fetch the content on the content recommendation engine we post it to a particular board. Users can then suscribe to boards and get content in realtime. A user can either vote up/down the content and we coulde use it to train and get the user preference.

have you ever seen this site: reddit.com
Yes, but reddit doesn't have a live recommendation system? The posts are ranked based on user votes
It's fundamentally a live recommendation system, and those votes make it work better than anything else (see Digg). I click on a subreddit and I get recommendations for related pages.
