Re: The Franck / Stravinsky connection
At the heart of the debate about consumer data and the web is the fact that Amazon and other firms customize their responses and communications based on our previous activities. So in essence, if the machine did not find enough direct answers to your request its suggestions will reflect what it perceives as your taste in music, in its efforts to entice you to buy something else. Someone else asking the identical question may get another response. How these search algorithms work is their secret, and essentially a constantly evolving exercise in predicting what will lead to increased sales.
