Abstract
Various computer-implemented methods are disclosed for selecting items, including but not limited to user-submitted blurbs, to present to users. One such method comprises using a plurality of personalized selection algorithms to select items to nominate for presentation to a target user. Each personalized selection algorithm outputs one or more item nominations for the target user together with an associated relevance score for each nominated item. The method further comprises receiving the item nominations and associated relevance scores from the personalized selection algorithms, normalizing the relevance scores, and using at least the normalized relevance scores to select particular items to present to the target user.
