Recomment

Recomment is a term that refers to the act of recommending something again, or a subsequent recommendation. It is often used in contexts where a person or system has previously suggested an item, and they are now offering another suggestion. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as the initial recommendation not being suitable, or to provide alternative options.

The concept of recommentation is prevalent in recommendation systems, which are designed to suggest items like products, movies, or articles to users based on their past behavior or preferences. If a user dismisses a first recommendation, the system might recomment a different item. Similarly, if a user expresses dissatisfaction with a previous suggestion, a recommentation is made to address that.

In a social context, recommenting can occur when someone asks for advice or suggestions multiple times. For instance, if a friend has already recommended a restaurant and the asker is still undecided, the friend might recomment that same restaurant or suggest a different one. The term implies a continuation or iteration of the recommendation process. It is not a distinct technical term with a universally agreed-upon definition, but rather a descriptive phrase for a repeated or subsequent act of suggesting.
