Plog this
July 11, 2004
Just noticed that Amazon is beta-testing its new "plog" service, incorporating blog features directly into the home page.
If you’re a registered user, Amazon now displays blog entries in the center column, pre-populated with recommendations from the “Amazon NewReleaseBot." They've done away with the old canned recommendations format in favor of giving users more control - or, at least, the appearance of control.
