Last.fm

“Last.fm is the flagship product from the team that designed the Audioscrobbler system, a music engine based on a massive collection of Music Profiles. Each music profile belongs to one person, and describes their taste in music. Last.fm uses these music profiles to make personalized recommendations, match you up with people who like similar music, and generate custom radio stations for each person.”

Movielens

“MovieLens is a research site run by GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota. MovieLens uses "collaborative filtering" technology to make recommendations of movies that you might enjoy, and helps you avoid the ones that you won't. The predictions you get are personalized to your tastes, which are learned by asking you to rate movies that you have seen before.”
