Comment on EBay acquires Hunch for $80m

Comments

Whatever Hunch is really good at, we haven't seen it yet. I assume Ebay has, and that it has everything to do with crunching customer browsing & purchase behavior to offer them products they're most likely to purchase.

I think their predictions were actually really good. A while ago I tested several movie recommendation engines and hunch was the only one that delivered.

On the downside, they really asked a lot of questions, which made me uncomfortable with using it.
