Maybe the project made independent from the main portal would have more value? (could it cover even cars, hotels, places, professionals, etc?). Sounds nice.

Everybody sees immediately Amazon gathering rich customer profiles... for all kinds of clever marketing purposes. I see however a huge amount of user generated content exposed directly to the search engines... achieving the best possible matching of search (intentions) with product information... through the original (unmediated)words of the customers themselves. No need for any marketing analysis, segmentations, targeting, advertising... nothing. It will work by itself.
