In this study, an online movie recommendation engine that serves on Facebook is developed
in order to evaluate social circle eects on user preferences in a trust-based environment.
Instead of using single-user profiles in the social environment identification process, virtual
group profiles that present common tastes of the social environments, are formed to achieve a
successful social circle analysis and innovative suggestions. Recommendations are generated
based on similar social circles and based on social circles of similar users separately and their
results are evaluated. Pure collaborative filtering is applied to emphasize the influence of
social environment characteristics.
