2015 is considered as the year of personalization. Personalization is creating experiences on web sites or through interactive media that are unique to individuals or segments of consumers. Visitors browse through websites just as they would roam in a supermarket. They have a certain reason for visiting different pages of the site. The job of personalization systems is to predict what she’s looking for on that page and then choose the most relevant content for her. Looking for interesting content on personalization?
