Out Ahead Of Amazon A9

It’s fun to be just a little ahead of the curve. When Yahoo released their search API, I jumped in a built a video game news search tool because it was something that I had a need for. Then I thought it would be cool to create an RSS feed from the search results that I could display on my Proliphus Enterprises page. These things were done and I learned a lot from them, so I posted a link to my source code on the search page so that others could go and do the same or make something new.

Well it seems that Amazon.com has caught up so to speak. Today they announced that developers will be able to tie into their A9 search engine and create feeds from the results. It’s nice to know that I’m doing something useful!
