Consuming the RSS Feed of Amazon 01/11/2004 09:27 PM
This Article explains about fetching the RSS feed of Amazon web site, transform it into HTML using XSLT and display it on your website. There are many web sites that list the RSS feeds of Amazon. We will be using the RSS feeds listed by lockergnome, in particular the RSS feed for latest programming books on Amazon.

DVDs Of Old 11/03/2003 05:53 PM
Adam Barr writes "If you are sitting around waiting for your favorite TV show to be released on DVD, Amazon.com may be able to help. If you go to the listing for "Miami Vice", as an example, it informs you that the title is not currently being produced and lets you submit your email for notification if it ever is; but more interestingly, it states: "You'll also be voting for this release; we'll let the studio know how many customers are waiting for this title." So by expressing interest you are effectively signing a petition at the same time. "

Paul Bausch created BookPost ("a Web tool that helps with putting together a weblog post about any book", see also Mockerybird's Book Watch,) Jason Kottke mentions that Jeff Bezos attended the O'Reilly's Emerging Tech Conference, and Aaron Swartz finds it "[o]bviously inspired by Google". Now where do I find the time to use it on SciFan?

Now, your favourite language and mine, PHP, has recently started shipping with support for XML-based remote procedure calls (including SOAP) over HTTP. This makes PHP ideal for developers looking to integrate Amazon Web Services into their Web applications. The only problem? Not too many people know how to do it. That's where this tutorial comes in. Over the next few pages, I'll be demonstrating how you can use PHP, in combination with Amazon Web Services, to add powerful new capabilities to your Web applications. Take a look. -- icarus

Amazon.com Launches Web Services 07/17/2002 12:09 PM
"We're putting out a welcome mat for developers -- this is an important beginning and new direction for us," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "Developers can now incorporate Amazon.com content and features directly onto their own websites. We can't wait to see how they're going to surprise us."

Among its many features, Amazon.com's Web Services will allow third party sites to search and display products from Amazon.com's web site, and enable visitors to those sites to add items to their Amazon.com shopping carts. Developers can access AWS through two industry standards: XML and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

Web sites like Amazon and Google are applications. And Microsoft has demonstrated over and over again that a platform strategy beats an applications strategy every time. Once you have other companies building added value that relies on you, you have a kind of benign industry lock in that's a real competitive advantage. (That's why I bet that Microsoft's MapPoint eventually supplants AOL's MapQuest as the dominant resource for geographic information. Unless AOL gets off its duff and supports developers, of course.)

Amazon/Google/WorldCat 09/23/2004 05:24 PM
The switched-on librarians have been having a bit of a hackfest today. Jessamyn West and Andrea Mercado got to wondering how to make use of the integration between Google and OCLC WorldCat ("a worldwide union catalog created and maintained collectively by more than 9,000 member institutions.") They discovered that if you construct a Google query using site:worldcatlibraries.org plus an ISBN, you'll find WorldCat records for the book. For example, this query returns this link, which is the WorldCat record for Bruce Schneier's Secrets and Lies. If you follow that link and fill in a ZIP code (WorldCat will remember it for you), you'll see all the nearby libraries that have the book, and you can check its availability at each library. ...

Clash of the titans: Amazon vs. Google

Clash of the titans: Amazon vs. Google 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
< img width="278" height="194" alt="knowledge navigator" align="right" vspace="6" hspace="6" src="http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/gems/amazonSearchInside.jpg"/>< /a> Ned Batchelder alerted me this morning to Amazon's new search feature:

Now Amazon lets you search the full text of its books. This is astounding, not only because of the further differences it highlights between Amazon and traditional bookstores, but because of the effort it must have taken to accomplish. The text seems to be from scans of pages, subjected to an OCR process. And not just the bulk of popular books, either. They've got all sorts of wild and wooly volumes available this way. I don't know how truly useful it will be, since full text searching can be extremely noisy, even before the OCR noise is factored in. [ Ned Batchelder: October 2003]

I wondered about the OCR strategy too. In this day and age, surely any publisher could provide electronic copy to an indexer. But then I drilled down and discovered something quite remarkable. I own a copy of Tesla: Man Out of Time. The other day, I was mentioning to someone that, according to that book, some of Nikola Tesla's writings are still classified. This query finds the passage I was remembering. Awesome! Now the physical book I bought from Amazon is more valuable to me. Its printed index has been augmented by a vastly more capable online index. This extremely useful capability is, by the way, also available to owners of books in the Safari Books Online service, though it correlates results only to chapter and section, not to page. Little-known fact: you need not be a Safari subscriber to use Safari as an augmented index to books you own. ...

Stainless Steel Rasp
Lee Valley Tools
Turns garlic to liquid, parmesan to fluffy cheese snow, citrus rind to orderly zest and ginger to mud. You’ll wonder how you lived without it, unless of course you’re preoccupied with other, larger matters.

Belle & Sebastian – Gigantic
MP3 bootleg, found on the usual networks
Not ordinarily a fan of these agents of Scots wimp-rock, but strongly endorse this recording from a May 2002 concert in which an audience member named Rachel come onstage to make a go of the Pixies song: she doesn’t remember the words (except for hey Paul hey Paul, etc.), but manages to work in that she loves her boyfriend Josh.

Acquisition X
David Watanabe
A very good (Mac OSX only) filesharing application. Intuitively organised in an elegant Cocoa layout. Works seamlessly with iTunes, and only fifteen bucks.

Potatoes
Starchy tuber
Highly flexible foodstuff. Can be baked, boiled, fried, mashed, stuffed. Good with cheese, but not for the Atkins adherent. Will keep for like ever in the cupboard.

Walkydog
Bice S.R.L.
Clever device for safely taking the dog for a bicycle ride. Works, despite the name. Perhaps bikeydog.com was taken.

Être et Avoir
Nicolas Philibert
A thousand miles from the scattershot manipulative bombast of some documentaries, this quiet year filmed in a one-room schoolhouse in Auvergne manages somehow to catalogue vast tracts of human experience and weave narrative both tragic and heroic. One of the most pleasing films of recent memory. NB: no tits or shit blowing up.

Amazon Light, a very cool new use of the Amazon Web Services recently introuced (and clearly inspired by Google's Web API) provides a cleaner-than-Amazon interface to the same data. However, they recently report that they've been asked to cease-and-desist by Google's lawyers. The site was very much like Google's (screenshot) but it was clearly in good taste. I'm not sure why Google is so testy about it. Is a books.google.com coming soon? I wonder if they'll go after Whois Report next. [Thanks to Kevin Burton for alerting me to this.]...
