Just because you're not scaling Mount Everest doesn't mean you don't need some assistance getting around--and Sherpa's here to help. A free local discovery application optimized for Android and powered by a learning engine dubbed GENIE--i.e., Geodelic ENgine for Interest Evaluation--Sherpa promises a customized user experience that improves each time you use it, recommending retailers, restaurants and attractions as it begins to understand your likes, dislikes and behavioral patterns. Sherpa also takes into account the larger world around you, combining your interests and location with related contextual information (for example, time of day) to aggregate and present personalized, site-specific recommendations and insight about the places and things in the immediate vicinity. With Sherpa on your smartphone, it's a small world after all.
