don't know if this is old news here, I just came across it earlier today.
[biz.yahoo.com...]

enables consumers to quickly and easily find personalized product recommendations via an individual preference ranking technology. SmartSort is currently available across nine consumer electronics categories in Yahoo! Shopping and will be integrated into additional categories through the end of the year.

a clever way of getting visitors to their shopping pages, definetely beats the write a review page imo

At SES the guy in charge of Yahoo Search talked about this quite a lot, they're very keen to develop personalization. If I recall correctly, he was talking about how people search, and they emphasized how people start their search at different stages, so I guess this is a way to cater to people who are in the "research" phase.

Sounds like a great idea. I tried to test it but it didn't come up for me, andybody have any luck?
