While I think Bill was referring to a particular data collection method,
for those interested in principles and techniques I'd recommend [sic]
to start looking at the vast literature on "recommender systems," or
"collaborative filtering" as a variant was called in 1992.

An easy starter, cited several hundred times since, is

  Paul Resnick and Hal R. Varian
  Recommender systems
  Communications of the ACM 40(3):56-58, 1997
  ACM Press

Best regards,
