Comments on: Amazon recommends http://tara.teich.net/archives/amazon-recommends There is no candy here. It's just thoughts on video games, tech gadgets, movies and whatever else inspires me. Which is almost like candy. But not really at all.

I know they scan the site content to put up appropriate ads (down on my site at the moment, but will return when I have time to re-do things), now I'm wondering if they feed that info back to my purchasing data! That would be... creepy. Hmm, I have an Amazon Associates account as well.

On a related Amazonian note, like many people, I have an Associates account with links on my site. I looked at the purchases people had made through that account last winter. Mixed in among the various game dev books that people had bought off my links, I saw the following title: "Big, Beautiful, and Pregnant: Expert Advice and Comforting Wisdom for the Expecting Plus-Size Woman" The Sesame Street song kinda comes to mind.
