Nobody is perfect of course, but what made a huge impression to me was not how good (or bad) amazon's recommendations are, but how bad the interaction with the customer is. I blogged about it a couple of days back (please excuse the self promotion) http://www.techpovera.com/blog/2007/06/amazon-and-google-personalization-mess.html

Was my previous comment that spammy ? I wonder why it never showed up. Anyway, that's life.
