The Quote
Caterina Fake of Hunch, in the New York Times, on her company’s tracking of…..everything:
What is a taste profile?
Basically we’re tracking every person and every entity and object on the Internet, and the affinity between those two things. It’s an incredibly ambitious project; we’re creating a Taste Graph.
How many “tastes” does Hunch understand so far?
In our database we currently have 20 billion, what we call edges, which are essentially taste maps of a person to an object. It’s growing exponentially too.
