Cataloging catalogs.
[ Posted by Dan on December 24, 2001 | 0 Comments ]
Google now has
a catalog of catalogs on their site. This is completely opposite to the move, by dotcoms like Amazon and Yahoo, to produce paper catalogs of online material. So, Amazon creates a paper catalog and mails it people, which is then browsed online at Google. This is an odd feedback loop. I wonder if Google will try to get a referral fee if people buy at
Amazon based on seeing it in the digitized paper catalog.
Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends).
