Abstract
A method, system and program product for populating a user profile based on existing user profiles is provided. Specifically, under the present invention, base characteristics are designated for a new user profile. Based on the designated characteristics, the new user profile is associated with a particular Vornoi cluster region of existing user profiles. Once associated, the new user profile is populated with defined characteristics from the existing user profiles within the particular cluster region. After population, viewing recommendations can be made.
