• A key goal of Dine.com is to be able to personally suggest restaurants to you just as if you asked some of your closest friends - friends who know what restaurants you like and dislike. 
  • Back in late 1994, Dine.com became the first website that used a technique called 'collaborative filtering' to predict restaurants based on the relationship between your favorites and other members of Dine.com.
• To let Dine.com help you, just become a regular and then look for your favorite restaurants. 
  • When you find one, click on the button that says something like, "Add this restaurant to your hot list". 
  • Once you created a list of your favorite restaurants, there will be a link to let you view Dine.com's recommendations based on your particular tastes.
• How many times have you asked someone for a restaurant suggestion? 
  • The first thing someone will ask is, "Well, what type of food do you like?" to be quickly followed up with questions regarding ambiance, price ranges, and other restaurants you like. 
  • Then the person may try to match you with restaurants that he/she has already visited.
  • That's a little bit how Dine.com works...
• A key difference between Dine.com and the way a friend may help is that Dine.com only knows what groups of restaurants people like instead of the reasoning why. 
  • While this may seem like just a little bit of information, it's actually remarkably powerful. If a member of Dine.com likes many of the restaurants you like as well as some that you have yet visited, then it's pretty likely that the others may be of interest to you. 
  • The real power of this assumption comes in when we ask everyone in the system to suggest restaurants for you and tally the results.
• What this means is that by playing an active role in Dine.com (e.g., posting reviews and listing your favorite restaurants), you are simultaneously improving the quality of the site for everyone!
