Unsurprisingly there has already been a large body of work completed in the recommender system field to incorporate this social information into the recommendation process. In this paper we examine the practice of leveraging a user's social graph in order to generate recommendations. Using various neighbourhood selection strategies, we examine the user satisfaction and the level of perceived trust in the recommendations received. %@ 978-1-4503-0683-6
