Launch
I think it’s time to announce some launches. First off, my team launched a project we called “Watchlist”, which recommends new releases from authors and artists you’ve purchased from or rated highly in the past. Turns out this “no-brainer” recommender works really well!
Secondly, Amazon just launched two Facebook applications - Amazon Giver and Amazon Grapevine. I started Amazon down this path many months ago, writing the code for what later became Amazon Grapevine (and yes, I thought of it before Beacon existed, so the comparison isn’t accurate). It’s so great to see them launched! I send my best to my old team and hope many more great applications will come down the pipe.
