Call this a pre-release announcement.
Common Media’s next project, CommonRunning.com, is a “collaborative filtering” application, in which we hope to be able to suggest specific running shoe models to runners without asking the questions that always draw puzzled looks, like, “How much do you pronate?” or, “How high are your arches?”
Our idea is that if we can find other runners who liked some of the same shoes you liked, we can probably assume you are similar runners, and use that information to recommend shoes to you. Our problem is this: we need a collection of reviews to test our suggestions on.
So if you run, we’d love to have you sign up at Common Running and review your running shoes. The review form is simple (four buttons) and should take less than a minute for each model you review. If we don’t have the model you wanted to review listed, we want to know about that, too; there are probably between 300 and 500 different shoe models available, and we figure we have fewer than half listed so far.
If you can help us out now, we should be able to help you out by suggesting good shoes for you before very long. Thanks!
