Interesting new Googleized search engine from Amazon - a9 is born (and coincidentally a road from Perth to Aviemore)

Been having a play with the new search engine of the moment, a9...hmm...one suspects that Amazon will be collecting a fair bit of market info from this engine (can you think of another reason they'd want to do this?). First impressions are that it's very 'feature rich' (i.e, packed with stuff I'll never use), the popup site infor thing is pretty good I have a Traffic Rank of 1369996 - which probably puts me around the realms of the native Latin speakers portal.
