Strands has created a social recommender engine that is able to provide real-time recommendations of products and services through computers, mobile phones and other Internet-connected devices.
We believe the future of the web is about personalization. Personalized TV stations, personalized news, personalized advertising, personalized shopping experiences, personalized music, no matter where you are or what you are doing. Social recommendation technologies allow Strands to build a number of engaging products for the end user, and to help different industries deliver personalized content, products, services and ads to their consumers. We have a strong focus on the mobile world.
