Amazon’s recommendations were an early example of the use of extensions on the Web.
Extensions are the mining of previously gathered data relating to a users activities or transactions which allows users to be guided to initiate other valuable activities or transactions. Exemplified by the phrase "other customers who purchased this book also purchased these books"
If Not, They Click a “thumbs-down” Button.
If they like it, they click a “thumbs-up” button on the toolbar

With it, users simply select a topic they’re interested in, then click the “stumble” button.
