  • receiving a media item recommendation for a media item sent from a recommender to a recipient;

    determining whether at least one tag of a plurality of tags associated with the recommender matches a current selection criterion established by the recipient, the at least one tag characterizing at least one of the recommender and the media item;

    sending the media item recommendation to the recipient if the at least one tag of the plurality of tags associated with the recommender matches the current selection criterion wherein the media item recommendation is not sent to the recipient if the at least one tag does not match the current selection criterion;

    determining if any one of the plurality of tags logically conflicts with another of the plurality of tags by determining that the any one of the plurality of tags is mutually exclusive with any other of the plurality of tags; and
