A better Amazon.com wish list
I’m a big fan of Amazon.com. It is convenient, it has great prices, and it puts most of all the information I’m ever looking for on a product on the same page as the product (this saves me time from going elsewhere to look things up).
Like most shopping sites, Amazon.com allows you to build a wish list of items that you want. I use this feature quite extensively to keep track of things and to check up on prices if/when they change.
Anyway, if you prefer to have a printable list of items or a more concise list of items to look at (or to pass along to others), then you should go over to the Compact Amazon Wish List generator from Xefer (the same person(s) that brought you the Maze Generator).
It basically makes your Amazon.com wish list look something like the image above. Neat, eh? Even better is that it provides a permalink to your specific list. See mine here.
On a separate note: One thing that bothers me about the Amazon.com wish list is the way you have to refresh the page to delete or edit stuff on it. It’s so slow. And in these days of AJAX-whatever technology, why can’t Amazon.com make it so that if you push the “Delete” button on an item in the wish list, it’ll just fade out and disappear? Or have the items draggable so that you can re-order the list without having to navigate to a separate page. I hate having the page reload.
