Amazon have added some Ajax magic to their recommendation pages, letting you rate and indicate an item’s status (rating, owned, rubbish) in-line, without having to refresh the page, and it’s a massive improvement in usability. I’m really quite impressed.

Yeah thats slick. But how long do you reckon before it filters down to amazon.co.uk? ;o)

Posted by Pip on October 17th, 2005 at 11:29 pmHey there - looks like they are still testing this based on random IPs or something because at home I get AJAX amazon and at work I get regular amazon…
I’ve blogged it and grabbed the js source if you want to take a look…
