Amazon.com Items Purchased Through Everyday Systems Sites
from 2003-10-15 to 2009-02-02
Instead of placing obnoxious ads for products that some
advertiser has decided you should buy, I've just provided a discreet
handful of buy anything from amazon.com links throughout the everyday systems sites. Here are the
results. Two things to note:
- I am a terrible businessman. In over six months I've recouped
maybe 3 days operating expenses. (note: purchases have gone up quite
a bit since I posted this link, I think I'm up to 5 days expenses
now, thank you!)
- The informational byproducts of even a terrible business are fascinating and perhaps even useful. The items in the list below may
actually be of interest to future visitors to
everydaysystems.com. In a way, the list itself is a form of super directed advertising. At the moment, this assertion may seem a little crazy, but it will become more true as the list grows longer.
So if you're willing to believe #2, have a look at links below and help me remedy
#1.
Items are sorted by count (the number of times someone has
purchased the item) and then by "my revenue" (the total dollar amount
I have received for all purchases of the item). Purchases are added
when they ship, so don't get excited if you buy something and it
doesn't show up here right away. This page automatically connects to
amazon.coms database, so if you have nothing better to do, hit reload
a lot, and eventually it will change (I hope).
Perl wonks may admire the totally uncommented and hacked together
source code for this script here. It's based on an
example in O'Reilly's excellent Amazon
Hacks book..
Note: amazon changed their api some time in late 2004
and the script as given no longer works. I am too lazy to figure out
why and instead I now manually download the data every now and then
and just have the script read from this file.
Another note: some of the items below are seriously weird and
disturbing. Don't blame me! It's your (collective) fault.
Last note: as you may have noticed, I now also host (hopefully not
too) "obnoxious ads for products that some advertiser has decided you
should buy." I do suffer pangs of conscience about this, if it's any
consolation.
