Abstract
A content recommendation apparatus and method gives users a peer-to-peer, highly personal way to discover new content by being introduced to one or more similar users. A similar user is a user that has a correlation to another user based on their preferences and behaviors (e.g., downloaded content, frequency of use, content currently have on device, browsing behaviors, content organizational habits, etc.). A catalog of content, or a designated portion thereof, can be used at least in part for finding matches and for identifying content to suggest to another. Data about user behavior can serve to connect the user to similar individuals for the purpose of discovering new content.
