TasteKid is a recommendation engine for music, movies, TV shows, books and authors. The system's main interface, the TasteKid.com website, is a discovery oriented community.

Description
TasteKid uses a collaborative filtering approach to build a knowledge base and generate recommendations, based on user preferences. Besides the website, additional interfaces built using TasteKid's publicly available API on top of other platforms include an iPhone App and a Google Gadget.

Features
The feature available to all users is providing recommendations based on preferences. Preferences are formatted as a query string consisting in comma separated band names, movie, show or book titles and author names. Based on each query, a list of mixed type recommendations is generated.

For each recommended item, additional information is provided, such as trailers for movie recommendations.

On the website, registered users have access to additional features, like rating items and keeping a taste profile that contains their liked, disliked and saved items.
