Turning technology from mumbo-jumbo into rich tasty gumbo
� Googling Me, Observed | Main | Domain Cheap to Good Home �I've been tweaking isbn.nu, my comparison service that finds the prices for a given book via online bookstores, for days, and I have some neat new offerings that are subtle, but useful.
Among other elements I've added is a list of books that Amazon.com says other people who bought a given ISBN also purchased (when available for a title), which appears in the blue bibliographic box below the price comparison.
I also finally completed the first stage of a long-envisioned project to add "authority" to the system so that multiple books by the same author would show up as editions of a single work. This is now working for author and title searches. It also shows up as Other Editions below a price comparison list of prices for individual titles.
Feedback, anyone? I'm hoping to make my service more and more useful for people trying to find specific books and editions.

Nice. I like the editions feature.

So, since the Livingston articles came out, how much money are you making on this site now?

I did a search for Kinky Friedman (no comments please) and the response was quick. Likewise for MP3. It looks like a being a great service. Hope it works out well for you.
