Book Watch Plus

Book Watch Plus is a cool service that I discovered a while back. It uses the web services APIs of Amazon, Google and weblogs.com to create a powerful new application. It tracks all blogs that have changed in the last several hours, looks for links to Amazon books in the blog postings and creates a running Top Ten lists of books that are getting a lot of buzz in the blogging community. Using the Amazon and Google web services APIs, it pulls down product information, related news, etc.

Weblogs.com publishes a list of weblogs that have been updated in the last three hours - this list is published as XML and is queryable using XML-RPC or SOAP. Amazon's web services API allows for detailed product information to be pulled down using XML/HTTP or SOAP. Google allows searches to be performed using a SOAP API.

Also see the related Book Watch, Media Watch and AllConsuming and read related articles by Erik Benson and Tim O' Reilly.
