I have wanted some way to make posting Amazon affiliate-coded items easier. Now, with ecto‘s handy tagging shortcuts, it’s a snap. Simply look up the item’s ASIN number, copy it to the clipboard, and the %@ token will be replaced when you use the shortcut. (There’s probably a more clever way to get the ASIN number.)
The next logical step is to plug the Amazon web services API into the iTunes “now playing” component so that the “now playing” link pops users over to Amazon rather than Google.
