Match Algorithm and Inputs

SoCal CTO

One of the common questions that I commonly get is: Tony, what inputs should we use as the basis for our matching algorithm? Every time I hear that question, it worries me a bit. eHarmony came with lots of research behind the dimensions of compatibility and how those related to marriage longevity and happiness. The people asking the above question don’t have that research and they also don’t really know how the matches should occur.

Well, if you are in this situation, you are in the world of language cacophony.

PubSub with Redis and Akka Actors

Ruminations of a Programmer

Redis (the version on the trunk) offers publish/subscribe based messaging. This is quite a big feature compared to the typical data structure oriented services that it had been offering so far.

Match Performance Support

SoCal CTO

I’ve had several recent conversations with startups who are building companies based on matching. One of the things that I think gets commonly missed by these companies when I first talk to them is that they need more than providing matching, they need performance support. What do I mean by this? Let me go back and do my classic search for "eHarmony of" startup and find a few examples to use: People to Projects (Managers) People to Jobs (Hiring Managers) Students to Tutors Each of thes
