I'll create a cloud service (perhaps running on Amazon EC2) for people to try out the Recommender API. Mahout (the recommender server) is going to run on the cloud, and people just need to install the Recommender API module on their Drupal site, and then request an account on the cloud to run recommender computation in Mahout.

EndEd, any luck with this?

I was going to try this exact thing this weekend, I'm curious how it worked for you.

Cheers!

And I am on a shared virtual hosting as of now. Could it be an issue?
Thank you for the module!

@mefisto75: The recommender cloud is now in pilot testing phase. If your site qualifies certain criteria, we can host it for you for free. If you are interested, please send an email to contact@drupalai.com and explain what is your site and your need.
