Amazon RSS feeds

Amazon.com's web services platform now provides RSS feeds of many of it's categories. A few RSS feed builders are available that allow you to build feeds of categories, combine categories with keyword searches or do even more complex searches. This is a really useful feature that's similar to something we've been doing with our databases in Lucent's digital library -- providing RSS for database search results to support bloggers and news feed watchers. I've written about the topic in LibraryJournal and am going to be discussing this at an NYC UPA presentation to come in September.
