Recommendations not updated
I rated 30 movies a week ago, but my recommendations are still very generic, it seems to be a list of generally highly rated films, like IMDB Top 100, nothing that I would really like much. Is this a bug?
It really depends which movies you rated. Typically, when you start rating less common movies, you’ll start to get less common recommendations.

I think I am looking at an actual bug. I rated a lot of obscure movies, no mainstream and I get only Top 10 stuff back. Have a look at my account, my user name is rantanplan5.
I created another account, rated 30 different movies and get exactly the same recommendations. I don't believe your algorithm is that poor.

@gordo we're conducting research on the use of that feature, so we're intentionally being a little bit vague about what the different recommenders mean :)

Same here. I guess you got those recommandations because... Everybody loves those movies :)
But I noticed one thing : recommandations are more influenced by your tastes when you select "the wizard" for your recommandations settings (the link on the star, on the top of the website).
BTW; this is not really explicit - people from MovieLens should add an explanation to this !
