Word Clouds from Amazon
Amazon have started producing word clouds for books in their catalogue, based upon the most commonly used word within the book.
Take this for example:
Does anything eat wasps?
Hover over the word for an occurance count, click on the word for a list of excerpts containing that word. Very very neat. They're doing all of the things you'd want to / would do in a book store by allowing you to flick through the index and contents pages, and providing you a level of inspection of the content which you'd never be able to grasp by simply flicking through.
When they're able to let me feel the stock of the paper, then maybe i'm sold.
There's also a review of Does Anything Eat Wasps over at Books in the Bog.
