Abstract

Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the performance of geographic context weighted content recommendation. According to various embodiments, information identifying one or more viewing events or actions detected in association with a designated content management account at a media system may be received. The one or more viewing events or actions may have associated therewith location information indicating a location at which the one or more viewing events or actions occurred. The designated content management account may provide access to a plurality of media content items via the media system. The designated content management account may be associated with a geographic viewing profile. The geographic viewing profile may designate one or more of the plurality of media content items for recommendation in association with the designated content management account. The geographic viewing profile may also designate a geographic context for recommending the designated media content items.
