  I now work professionally on ACF (Automated Collaborative Filtering)
technology at Firefly, and I hope to have chance to apply it to a mailing
list sometime soon (this year?). Technologically, it is not very different
from
collaboratively filtering Reuters newsfeed that Firefly is going to do in near
future.

  As for the sociological implications, I am writing an essay on the subject
(see URL below), and would be happy if you could read and comment on it.
