Authors and journalists take note. Junglescan is a way to track the Amazon sales ranking of a book or product over time. One can follow the ranking of a novel, or CD, or you can collectively track the rise and fall of an idea, or group of items. Not everything is tracked only what it's asked to but for a free service that Amazon should/could provide it works well. See also Amazon Hacks (via Kevin Kelly Cool Tools).

I've been waiting for a feature like this since over a decade ago when I first dialed up a remote library via 300 baud.

When I saw the "Welcome" banner from a library half way across the country I thought, "If I could only word search against that motha."

*joy*
