mckoss: I wonder if there are other secret links accessible though amzn.com? - 9 months ago

mckoss: I tried /bezos and /jeff - and got nothin' - 9 months ago

mckoss: (Google AdSense is on top of this - just saw a Kindle Ad here on Go2.me!) - 9 months ago

mckoss: I hear that AMZN.COM  is fairly new (within the last year) - mobile could be another reason Amazon is supporting this. - 9 months ago

mckoss: Updated with the 1,000 shortcuts I found by searching all the words in an English dictionary(!) - 9 months ago

zzelinskiwannabe: :) so do you think they are going to use this link normalization or for twitter stuff? - 9 months ago

zzelinskiwannabe: also, no sehawks url. That is crap, those jerks are from here. - 9 months ago

mckoss: It might be there - I only checked the dictionary of English words - seahawks probably wasn't in there.... - 9 months ago

mckoss: It's there - I just missed it http://amzn.com/seahawks  - 9 months ago

mckoss: I don't know how I missed http://amzn.com/mariners  - maybe my dictionary doesn't have all the plurals in it! - 9 months ago

mckoss: Yeah - for some reason, my 42,000 word dictionary has 'mariner' but not 'mariners'? - 9 months ago

Surely the short URLs are auto created based on top keyword searches at Amazon.com? - 9 months ago

mckoss: I heard a rumor that the AMZN.com  links had some cross-site scripting issues (like the "buy" button wouldn't work) - but that these were fixed (or will be fixed) very recently. - 9 months ago
