Use a whole bunch of collaborative filtering techniques to figure out what kind of products a user likes (based on his/her ratings). Use the techniques to build a user profile and then do whatever (targeted advertising, recommended places etc)

I would imagine they have a large data set on the ratings, etc. of the businesses. How would you put this to use?
