Amazon releases Context Link

I have been a long time Amazon.com Associate,amazon2.jpg ever since I released the eBook How To Use Google while in business school. I haven’t logged into my account in years but recently logged in and was impressed to see a new Context Link product (see Google Adsense example to the right). As a test of the new product, I thought I would list some great business books I have read below. If the product works, you should see a dotted underline that has a preview and links to Amazon.

Here are some of my favorite business books:

  • Hiring The Best - Martin Yate
  • Man’s Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl
  • Made in America - Sam Walton
  • Trading Up - Michael Silverstein
  • The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell
  • Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
  • Moneyball - Michael Lewis
  • Multiple Streams of Income - Robert Allen
  • Running Money - Andy Kessler

I promise to post more books soon and I will let you know how the Amazon contextual link performs.

Plaxo launches Plaxo Pulse

PlaxoPlaxo has just released Plaxo Pulse. As a former Plaxo soldier, I must say that I am impressed with the speed and overall velocity of this latest release. Plaxo Pulse is attempting to create an online feed of what everyone you know is doing. This “life feed” is quite similar to the social network feeds on Facebook or Friendster, but is not limited to the activity on a single network. They have absolutely nailed the UI (thanks Facebook) and I love the beta.

Congrats to Joseph and the rest of the team for this breakout release!
