Personalized Search

What is google.public.labs.personalized?

Google.public.labs.personalized is an unmoderated forum for discussion
about the Google Labs Personalized Web Search demo. This group is
currently available only through Google Groups. Any individual with a
question or comment about using the Google Labs Personalized Web
Search demo may post here.

The Google Labs Personalized Web Search demo is an experimental system
that attempts to tune users' results to their interests. A user
selects categories or topics he is interested in, and is then able to
receive personalized search results based on those interests. The
user is also able to control the degree of personalization in his
results by using a slider that ranges from 0 (no personalization) to
10 (full personalization). The Google Labs Personalized Web Search
demo is available on labs.google.com, Google's technology playground.
For more information, please see http://labs.google.com.

Occasionally Google employees may post to the group. Any Google
employee who participates in the group will always post with BOTH the
name "Google Employee" and email labs-per...@google.com.

Google.public.labs.personalized encourages free and open discussion on
all aspects of the Google Labs Personalized Web Search demo. However,
posts not on this topic are not welcome. We reserve the right to
delete posts that we consider inappropriate.

In addition, this group explicitly prohibits
* The posting of commercial advertisements or other promotional
material

In order to create a constructive forum, all who post to
google.public.labs.personalized are encouraged to follow the general
posting tips found below.

General posting tips:

* Posts should carry a clear, descriptive subject line.

* When responding to someone's post it is a good idea to quote the
passages you are responding to. However, it isn't always necessary to
quote an entire post - you should only include the portion you plan on
addressing.

* A crosspost is one that has been directed to more than one
newsgroup. Please do not crosspost when posting to any google.public
group.

* All postings made to this group should conform to existing Usenet
guidelines. See news.announce.newusers for guideline documents
and http://tgos.org/newbie/rules.html for Usenet etiquette.

Thanks for your interest in our personalized web search demo and for
