Thanks anatari for providing this feedback. You are spot on - our biggest technical challenge is to make a generic recommender that will work with a variety of different verticals. Our current approach is to limit ourselves to 3 specific verticals. For example consider the "news" vertical - a recommendation engine that works for NYTimes will likely work fine for WSJ.
