		<description><![CDATA[In the process of renaming our website from MyFriendSuggests.com to theSUGGESTR.com I found that most articles on this refer to using mod_rewrite to accomplish the redirect.  However for most us Java guys this may not be the way to go.  I used URLRewrite to accomplish this name change and have 301(Permanent redirects) from my old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tagging pages or items is a big part of the Web2.0 movement.  After doing some mild searching I didn&#8217;t find a prebuilt API for working with tags for Java (found some PHP stuff).  So I created one to be used in the next release of our site (www.myfriendsuggests.com).  As we&#8217;ve done in the past we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taste is a great framework for collaborative filtering.  We are going to be launching a new recommendation algorithm on our site (MyFriendSuggests.com) in the coming weeks (Stay Tuned!) based on the Taste framework.  Taste provides a User-based and Item-based recommender.  User based recommenders find users that have similiar tastes to you and then use their [...]]]></description>
