Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everyone-is-getting-into-the-game dept.

fjordboy writes "John Battelle has posted a discussion and review of Amazon's new search engine: a9.com. From the article:"What makes this particularly noteworthy is that A9 is built quite literally on top of Google. In short, Amazon has taken the best of Google, and made it, to my mind, a lot better. Sound familiar? Yup, it's what Google did to Yahoo, Yahoo to Netscape...you get the picture." "

    I'm also concerned with this, although google seems to do the same thing from time to time (actually quite rarely)

    Actually, Google track every click from their search results using an image load on the mousedown event of the hyperlink. View the source to a Google results page to see it.
