For other Amazon products that don’t have an ISBN, you use the ASIN number (Amazon Standard Identification Number), also on the product page. The tool also works for Amazon Wishlists. You type “amzn.com/w/” plus the Wishlist ID number, which is usually at the end of a person’s Wishlist URL.

Tired of receiving feedback all over? I post links on Twitter, a few different forums, IRC, and in other places. It’s hard to follow all of the different respones. Using a super tini, I can view all of these responses in one place. This makes my life much easier!

Auto-discovery for short URLs
The proposed solution is to provide a mechanism to auto-discover if a long URL url that is entered in by a user has a canonical short URL that is prefered over bit.ly, tinyurl.com, etc.
