Hi Jeremy,
I have tried to use your solution, and it works well when I use my own credentials. It shows all the recommendations I had recieved.
But when some other user is trying to see my recommendations:

  1. He is asked to Login. (Which would be great to avoid)
  2. One he logs in I see the error as follows
    Error: t.recommendationsReceived.values is undefined

I am guessing the error is Because this user does not have any recommendations, and the API is trying to load the recommendation from the logged in users account.
Could you please share the solution you mentioned on https://gist.github.com/970913#gistcomment-31449
, that is to be able to show my own recommendations without anyone to login.

Thanks

Thanks for this gist!
I found that it doesn't work unless you add this:
scope: r_fullprofile
between lines 4 and 7...

Hopefully that helps some of the rest of you asking questions about this.

@agnihotriketan, it looks like you need to be a member partner to do this now, or did you have any luck?
