Amazon’s Windowshop
Amazon just released an interesting new way to navigate their New Releases, Bestsellers and Editor’s Picks. They call it Windowshop.
A Flash application takes over the entire browser area and allows you to navigate between books, audio books, music and videos by using the cursor keys of your keyboard. Rest on any item for a second and it will play the media associated with the item: you hear a short music clip, an excerpt from a book or see a trailer for a tv-show/movie/game.
I would not want to use it to browse the entire Amazon catalog, but it’s an interesting concept especially for our short-attention-span society.
