Amazon has been fiddling with XML and its API for a while, but finally got around to releasing the “Amazon.com Web Services”
The Google API like interface has already spawned cool new interfaces for Amazon.com – like Amazon Light, which I have to admit – might very well become my favorite access to Amazon.com.

I’m currently playing around with a flash frontend for Amazon. This is still in a very early stage: http://www.quasimondo.com/amazonSearch.html
Very cool, looking forward to seeing the implementation evolve :-)
Here are some older ones. Have to redo them both – ie MXify them:
http://www.flash-db.com/Amazon/
– Done in Flash 5, but when I get a chance I’ll upgrade it to MX with some major improvements.

Also in Flash 5 – But ah whenever I get some actual free time I’ll upgrade it as well.
Anyways some fun stuff and so many possibilities.
and a interesting post.
Hello,
I was reading this:

I think it could drive developers into the webservices!
You can see a full implementation of the REST (XML-RPC API) interface of Amazon Web Services, online in this shop:

Created with PHP, Amazon Webservices version 2 and using a caching layer. Features search, categories search (try searching for “digital camera” in the camera shop), 3-4 level deep categories listings, product features, reviews, chatting, and also product features and prices comparisons

How do you use Amazon Light to create content for your site?
