Zoomii...

My coworker just introduced me to a new website that’s really exciting. It’s called zoomii.com, and it’s actually place to shop for books through Amazon.com’s associates program. That is, you can buy books from Amazon through zoomii. What I really like is the interface. It looks just like bookshelves that you can browse through with your mouse.

Who says discovery is dead on the web?

There is also a single search box that handles titles, authors, and subject categories with ease. Each title comes with publication info, price, description, sales ranking, and a link to Amazon’s reviews. The categories link presents a floor-plan-like view of each subject and its relative location. Very easy visualization! The bottom of the website also includes links to a blog and discussion forum. Easy feedback, and the site’s author, Chris Thiessen, has even responded to a few suggested improvements.

I like this site!
