Has anyone else used the Amazon Web Services API. No real question just interested in what anyone else might have developed using it.

I've gone as far as used PHP to extract and display the top 5 best selling books from a category (ie: JavaScript), and display it. Doing simple things with the API is rather easy in PHP (not sure about the other languages). Eventually I hope to use mysql in combination to make the whole process a lot more robust. I've seen a full web store created using the Amazon API, and lets just say it was very impressive. FYI the site was later taken down, as the webmaster registered a domain name with the "amazon" keyword in it. Became an infringement on Amazon's copyright.

thanks, ive built a simple app that takes search strings and builds a web page using the XSLT service they provide, real simple stuff. I think i might try transforming it myself using a server side script next.
