I made something similar a while back, but for books. Essentially it used the Amazon API to create a Pinterest like interface for Amazon. (But this was before Pinterest, so it was called a Masonry interface at the time.) Here is what I came up with:<p><a href="http://bookflavor.com/list/new-york-times-bestsellers-25" rel="nofollow">http://bookflavor.com/list/new-york-times-bestsellers-25</a><p>Unfortunately, eventually Amazon decided they didn't like me and cut off my API access. This was because I was doing too much scraping of their service, and because they said the design of my site was causing it to falsely report referrals to Amazon. (Still not sure what was causing that exactly.) At any rate they shut off my API access and I haven't had time to come back and revisit the project since I have been working fulltime.<p>Best of luck with your site, and watch out for sneaky Amazon restrictions.
Very cool :) This past weekend I was just thinking of starting something similar! but I know I would never achieve the great look that your project has.<p>Congratulations!
Cool. How do you decide on order of the items in the search results? for instance:<p><a href="http://pinstified.com/search?searchCategory=search-alias%3Djewelry&searchDept=search-alias%253Djewelry&searchButtonInput=Jewelry&searchButtonRefineInput=&fieldKeywords=gold+emerald+ring&searchSubcategory=all&sort=relevance-fs-browse-rank" rel="nofollow">http://pinstified.com/search?searchCategory=search-alias%3Dj...</a><p>vs<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Djewelry&field-keywords=gold+emerald+ring" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3D...</a><p>Also, where do you get data on new and best selling? Is that just the "popular" breakdown on Amazon?
