amaztype: good use of the amazon.com API

Posted in: design| information design| search| user experience| visualization

Amaztype uses the amazon.com API to pull search results for a given keyword, then returns results in the shape of the search term. My name returns a lot of different editions of Julie of the Wolves.

I was expecting a blank page for mine. I got excited when I saw it filling in, then disappointed seeing what it filled with.
