Psst… wanna see my new website?

Um… that’s ‘our’ new website. DAG Media bv, my employers, launched Zie.nl today.

Zie.nl is a new smart TV and web video guide, which makes use of collaborative filtering. Tips are presented in a flash application, the ‘kijkwolk’ (viewing cloud). Viewers can influence their personal cloud by voting thumbs up or thumbs down on individual programs. The engine tries to predict and present other shows a viewer might want to see, based on their voting and other behaviour on the site as well as some other stuff behind the scenes.

I’ve been part of the Zie.nl team since I started work at DAG Media back in September.

It’s all in Dutch, beta, but it’s live, baby.

(Zie is the Dutch word for ‘see’)
