Posted by ilovegajeebo in Daily Featured Websites on January 8th, 2009
Plista is a browser extension that personalizes existing web sites by overlaying and re-ordering existing content with one click. There is no integration need from the publisher site while plista anonymously follows what users like and don’t across sites.
Personalize your web experience | Social Network for Product Recommendations
Plista based on collaborative filtering and social graph applications allows to connect content, products, people and preferences to the benefit of publishers, users and marketers through the internet, mobile phones and other devices.
They receive personal web pages all over the web and individual recommendations based on their preferences. Users find related articles and products and are able to share this relevant content with people that really like it.
How does it works- Users simply download a plugin to their Firefox browser and the recommendations are presented seamlessly within the web page they are looking at. It overlays onto the actual web page and copies that page’s colors and typefaces to blend in as if it were meant to be there all along. It doesn’t require the web site owner to integrate its technology.
The Firefox Plista plugin will push out of the way any content to show a couple of lines of recommendations, or a larger number of recommendations within a side column. If there’s an advert in that side column, it will be pushed down the page.
With plista social and personalized targeting methods as well as trusted referrals become applicable globally throughout the internet, mobile and other devices - marketers will be offered a service to target, personalize, localize and mine rich user data of prospective clients or customers with the customer controlling his recommendations instead of receiving uncontrolled active advertisement.

Yelp - Real Reviews By Real People
Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about whats great and not so great in your world. You already know that asking friends is the best way to find restaurants, dentists, hairstylists, and anything local. Yelp makes it fast and easy by collecting and organizing your friends recommendations in one convenient place.
Yelp is a local reviews website covering almost 40 states. Users write and read reviews about anything from their favorite wall restaurant to the worst downtown club. Additionally Yelp offers social networking features: the ability to add friends, groups, events, talk in forums or message contacts. The idea behind this is that users will trust their friend’s reviews more than others.
Yelp provides online local search capabilities for its visitors. A typical search includes what the user is seeking and the location from which the search is to be performed, entered as a specific address, neighborhood, city state combination, or zip code. Each business listing result contains a 5 point rating, reviews from other site visitors, and details such as the business address, hours, accessibility, and parking.
Strong peer feedback mechanisms and the featured placement of popular reviews on the site and in local newsletters help motivate contributors. Yelp also applies a “First to Review” reward system to create a competition among contributing members, further motivating the creation of reviews and adding to the site’s business coverage. Over 10.6 million people access the Yelp web site each month, putting it in the top 100 of U.S. Internet web sites.
