That book (Programming Collective Intelligence) is partially what turned me on to building the Memetracker module. But it actually hasn't been too useful yet. The Memetracker will eventually have a sophisticated AI to determine which memes are most interesting but at the moment I working on creating a solid architecture so for now, the actual processes of identifying and sorting memes by interestingness are very simple.
But it is an excellent book if you're interested in machine learning techniques for the web. It teaches many of the most useful algorithms and provides sample (python) code.
yeah
