Shoppin’ Silly, the Amazon Way! #5

We all know that websites, especially sellers, use algorithms to analyze our transactions. They then tailor “suggestions” targeted to our presumed buying practices.

But sometimes those algorithms produce silly results!

While I really like Stephen King's writing in "The Body," I don't think it (or its original publication in Different Seasons) merit being listed as a reference book.
Even less so do I agree with the sorting algorithm which placed these JFK-assassination books in "Humor & Entertainment."

The moral is, Don't take computer suggestions without a little good ol' human dubiosity!  See you on Monday.  Happy shopping!
