Plogs Launch

July 15, 2004 by Pamela Parker

Here’s what greeted me on Amazon.com this morning:


  • OXO Good Grips 73191 Medium Spoon Spatula, Vanilla was released today; We thought you’d be interested because you bought OXO Good Grips Smooth Potato Masher.
  • My Life was released today; We thought you’d be interested because you rated The South Beach Diet Cookbook: More than 200 Delicious Recipes That Fit the Nation’s Top Diet.

Yes, Amazon has apparently taken “Plogs” out of beta. Gotta love the recommendation-engine juxtapositions. I’m not sure how this is so different than the previous recommendations that topped my Amazon.com home page, but I guess they can get into more detail with a Plog. Presumably different types of content will be forthcoming, as well.

FYI, I’m on vacation as of post-work today so things have been a little crazy. Heading out to Seattle for a family outdoor extravaganza. Was going to stop by Redmond but apparently MSFT is in disarray (everyone’s on vacation) post-World Wide Partner Conference. Will visit the folks at aQuantive, though, which should be fun.
