The Future!


Do you still remember when you buy things through Amazon.com, there is a section on the bottom of the screen, which is called “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought.” This is Recommender System. Recommender system becomes more and more popular and prevalent in this digital age. Computes can know customers want before they buy. Traditional search engine need specific condition that we have already know clearly, it means we have to know what we want and then search engines give us what we want. However, recommender system is evolutionary version of traditional search engine. This system knows what we want before we do or think, it is automatically calculate what we may like in other field. It can help people develop other interest and needs.

I think recommender system is a very amazing and successful invention. It can enlighten other abilities or interests of people that they might not discover yet. It not only predicts the need of customers but also increase the profits of the company. I think recommender system can revolutionize and help my blog a lot. It can show my readers that other related source they may want to see. If I incorporate this system into my blog, more and more readers will view my blog because they develop other interesting habits through my recommender system. Therefore, more and more people could see my blog through recommender system because other website may recommend my blog, and more and more people will enjoy Asian food.

Building readership!

One of the most important steps of running a successful blog is building a good readership. If readers keep reading the blog and post the comment and this blog runs very well. Furthermore, getting new visitors to view the blog is very important. If this blog has only some specific readers, it means the blog does not improve and increase its quality. Therefore, how to increase readership became a very important topic for a new blogger. Here are some improvements I will do in my blog next year.

First, I need to post newsworthy events in time. Sometimes I just write some my personal feeling about Asian food, it was not newsworthy event. Readers will evaluate the value of these events. Newsworthy contents are very crucial for running a good blog and building the readership.

Second, I need to improve my ability of designing. I am not good at art and design, but I think the format and design for a blog is very important. The image is very important for everything. If I can design a good-looking blog or vivid one, it will attract more readers. In addition, I should add more interesting audios or videos into the blog, thus readers will not get bored when they view the blog.

The above ideas that I mentioned are my ideas about how to increase readership. I will try my best to accomplish these improvements. Before doing this, I need you, my friends!! Let’s join the conversation and experience a fantastic blog together!!

Exploring the Asian Food Culture

I enjoyed this video very much. It is very meaningful and can learn more about traditional Asian food. It showed the really traditional Asian market and the source of Asian food. "Snake soup" is very famous and popular in Asain food, on the video, it show how to select a snake and make it into a delicious dish. Traditional Asian market is very crowded and dirty, not like supermarket (e.g. Publix) in the United States. This video can evoke more western people to learn more about Asian food.
