Is Myrrix a good choice for content-based recommendations?

I understand Myrrix's support for User > Item-based collaborative filtering-style, which will work well for me; but I also need to support content-based recommendations for Items, using a custom similarity algorithm. So if a user selects item X, they will also be able to see the n-most similar items, irrespective of any ratings.

That algorithm will compare Items based upon their intrinsic characteristics and attributes, and I can easily supply that algorithm in Java, but is this supported in Myrrix?

In an indirect way, yes. You can add 'tags' as if they are users and items -- that is, a user tag is like an item that the user interacts with. This provides a way to inject information like user attributes, and vice versa for items. Under the hood, these work just like actual users and items in the algorithm. See the setTag() method and API methods.
