For what it's worth, we used Mahout in the NoTube EU project, and it saved a lot of time (and a brain transplant). I should blog this. The only piece we've used heavily in our apps (http://vimeo.com/user3487770 http://notube.tv/ ) so far is the Taste recommender, but I've been digging deeper into the other components. I can't claim we're a hugely famous or successful application, but I can say without doubt I don't regret using Mahout. It did what it said it would do, and easily. One nice thing about this community, is that Mahout is not over-marketed. If the nature or scale of your problem better suits other tools, the Mahout folk will tell you so. Dan
