Attention - profile first, recommendations afterwards
The concept of Attention (as it relates to the internet) is still a new and amorphous enough concept that it's hard to find a simple definition to link to. Wikipedia has almost nothing to say about it. There are technologies and services built around it, like AttentionTrust and attention.xml. Meme engines (like TailRank and Findory, which personalize news based on user input - OPML import for TailRank, OPML import and click tracking for Findory) get close but aren't the full picture. Robert Scoble is excited about Attention, but he's too hung up on the commercial and marketing side of it. Steve Gillmor , Alex Barnett, and others talk about it pretty often, but without any real practical demonstrations of what they're talking about, it's still pretty theoretical at this point.
