A user may request a recommendation for an item from other users. Other users may respond to the request by recommending for or against items. Users may up-vote or down-vote the recommendations or responses of other users. The recommendations of the other users may be used to identify items and provide one or more recommendations to the requesting user. The original question and the responses may form a conversation thread. The recommendations may be inserted into the thread as responses, may be presented alongside the thread, or may be presented at the end of the thread. The recommendations may be based on one or more attributes of the user. The weight of the recommendations provided by other users may vary.
