Reading Over Your Shoulder [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Today, Amazon recommends books to you based on the books you've previously bought or searched for-soon, it could know exactly what paragraphs you've read. But will this help it make better recommendations? Is this customer service or an invasion of privacy? The author takes a look at recommender systems and if they truly deliver on what they promise or portend a much more error-prone method of tracking people.
