		Amazon are quite up-front about what they're going to do with people's A9 browser history: they're going to correlate it with their Amazon customer history to improve the customer experience they provide.
		I didn't remember ever signing up with A9, and a quick look through my password safe showed that I didn't have a separate user name for it.
		A9 is a wholly owned Amazon subsidiary, so technically they are the same company.

	John Battelle's Searchblog: More on A9 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		More on A9 The blogosphere continues to chew away on A9, and I think it will take some time for the new service to fully reveal its more interesting features.
		What gets me thinking is that for those who commit to A9 as a search solution, new and continuous improvements in search are likely to be hacked up, based on the fact that the personalized history can be analyzed and leveraged.
		Manber is quite insistent that A9 is a very early piece of work, the result of 30 folks banging away for 90 days, but that it's quite robust, and will evolve very quickly in the next year.

		They may use this information to allow third party service providers to perform functions on their behalf such as "sending e-mail and analyzing data." If users are uncomfortable with these terms, they can use the generic A9 search or refuse to log in (which would mean the loss of features and personalization).
		An identical A9 search sometimes takes the first nested result and places it on a separate line, sometimes additional results from the same domain are not displayed at all.
		Finally, I ran across a problem with the A9 toolbar where the installation program crashed on install and repeatedly crashed when trying to uninstall the toolbar (it is a beta service after all).

		I think you'll either love a9 (this is the greatest!) or find it not all that impressive (what's the big deal?).
		a9 has taken ideas available from disparate services (remote bookmark storage, being able to add and store notes about pages, see results from various databases) and has placed them within easy reach of the web searcher as they search.
		It would be also be exciting for a9 to work with libraries and create customized versions that would allow the researcher to access and search databases that the library licenses.

	Amazon's A9 -- Thursday, April 15, 2004
		A9, in some respects, appears to be a repackaging of existing search technologies.
		A9 also offers users a search toolbar, much as Google does, that shows up on the menu of their Web browsers to make searching simpler.
		Where A9 seems to take a more distinctive approach to searching is with a feature that displays a users' history of searches on the site so that they can quickly resume prior hunts for information.

	Google must love A9 as a safe test case for getting consumer behavior data

		A9 is a safe test case for Google’s future strategy in consumer data marketing.
		In other words; If A9 does not run into public image problems regarding the use of personal surfing and searching data for marketing purposes, this strategy could be copied by Google.

		Once the toolbar is installed on IE or Firefox, the first time you use A9, you'll need to either sign in to your Amazon.com account or create a new A9 account (only an e-mail address is required).
		The A9 Toolbar is missing some key features we've come to expect in search toolbars, including a form autofiller.

	The Search Lounge: A9
		A9 has implemented some really clever UI features.
		The UI is the first thing you’ll see and it’s what sets them apart, especially since right now they’re using the Google Index and (I think) the Google algorithm with some slight tweaks.
		I didn’t think this was the most useful feature at first, particularly now that browsers save searches, but I’ve actually used it to recall previous searches.

		Last year I was visiting Udi Manber, the CEO of Amazon's (AMZN) A9, getting an update on the search service's latest version.
		Up to now, A9 has been essentially a clever set of innovations on top of Google (GOOG) results.
		I had to ask Manber the obvious question: With the new Yellow Pages, A9 is clearly moving into a new strategic realm by competing as a search platform in its own right.

		The official version of the A9 engine builds on the beta version of the search engine released in April, and uses Google's database and algorithms coupled with its own search features.
		A9 search results are organized in columns that expand from left to right to reveal Web pages, images and reference material.
		The A9 search engine dialogue box on Amazon.com's Web site could prove useful to the shopping portal, as users often begin online shopping sprees by running a query through a search engine.

	Techdirt:Amazon's A9 Search Project Launches
		Despite the original stories about A9 from last year talking about how Amazon was taking on Google with A9, A9 actually appears to just be a different interface for Google, with some tie-ins to Amazon.
		Update: Reading more into the features of A9, there are some other funky features in the toolbar that they launched with it that I'm positive will upset some privacy folks.
		The Eula for the a9 toolbar basically says that as long as the bar is installed, _every_ site you visit will be sent to a9.com.

	Kirkville - A9.com - Amazon's Trojan Horse
		Adjustable Columns: The A9 web site says, "Simply drag the boundaries between the columns either to the left or the right to change their width of the different result sets (web, books, history)." Nice touch.
		This means that A9 is also recording my searches, and linking them in some way to my Amazon account, along with all the other activity (such as Amazon searches and purchases) that it records.
		While A9 offers valuable functions, users should be aware of just how much a Trojan horse it is, and just what kind of a risk it poses in the long term.

		On Google's trademark rules they say "Use the trademark ONLY as an adjective, NEVER as a noun or verb, and NEVER in the plural or possessive form." The OC would have likely been hearing from Google's lawyers if they had used Google as a verb.

		Speaking of technology, i beta-tested the A9 toolbar many months ago and ended up removing it for a number of bugs.

		While it's been in beta for months, A9 officially goes live today with a major upgrade, and could well become a one-stop search platform that offers interesting commercial possibilities that have the potential to trump traditional search players.
		The groundbreaking new twist in the beta version of A9 was Search History, which stores all your searches and -- if you install the A9 toolbar -- remembers where you've been on the Web as well.
		Coupled with a number of other innovative features, A9 was a clear declaration by Amazon that it is a significant search player, one to watch as the ongoing push/pull drama between search and commerce unfolds.
