Abstract
A system and method for developing a user's profile based on the user's interaction with content items. A module on the client rendering the content items or the service including the content items tracks the user's interactions with the content items and transmits the tracked data to a user analysis module. The user analysis module determines the topics associated with the interacted upon content items. The user analysis module then selects the topics for the user's profiles based on the received tracked data and the associated topics. The selected topics are mapped to topic clusters and the topic clusters are stored in association with the user profile. Recommendations for a user are made based on the topic clusters associated with the user'profile.
