Amazon adds more new features

March 25th, 2006 Posted in The Internet

I know I tend to report most of Amazon’s new features, but there’s a reason I pay such close attention to them. When Amazon adds new features, many many e-commerce businesses follow.



This morning I discovered several impressive updates:



RSS Feeds on Wishlists

That’s right, now you can subscribe to your wife’s wishlist via RSS.


Shopping Lists

As Amazon puts it, Shopping Lists are meant to:


To make it easier to locate and keep track of items you purchase routinely–products such as shampoo, vitamins, lip gloss, and tea–we’ve created Your Shopping List. It’s a list very much like the one you would take with you to the grocery store or drugstore but with added features, such as always being handy. (If you’ve bought these types of products in the past, we’ve started a list for you.)



Gift Organizer

Now you can get a handle on your gift giving. This new section adds several new features:

  • Keep track of your friends birthdays
  • Associate all past purchases with a person, so you can remember what you gave them year to year
  • Gift Lists for your friends (think of a wishlist that you create for your friend)



And of course, they still have the Wedding and Baby Registries.



Amazon is doing an amazing job of finding incredible ways to slice and dice their impressive product portfolio. I’m already working on a gift list for my Mom, one of the hardest people in the world to shop for. Hopefully between now and her birthday at the end of the year, I’ll be able to save a few items that she may be interested in!
