Amazon has announced an incredibly easy way for webfolk to put pieces of Amazon’s content on their pages. For example, here is a search widget:
You can create all kinds of widgets here.
People who know my web interests know that I believe the internet is changing. It’s no longer about the page (necessarily), but about the pieces you can reuse elsewhere. The “homepage” is still important, of course. There needs to be a home base, and all those widgets need to get data from and point to information somewhere, but the remix and reuse pieces are increasingly important and expected. I was pleased to see Library Web Chick discussing this, too. Anyway, expect to see a lot of posts about this in the coming months.
