My guess is that since Amazon already provides nearly all their product information as XML via Web services, they would feel that you can build the site your self - adding links to their pages probably isn't their idea of fun.
The parts of a product microformat that would help link to customer reviews is the product identifier, rather than the product content or other descriptive data. You can look for the ASIN in the URL, then request the reevoo data associated with that ASIN. Since reevoo probably won't have it indexed by ASIN, then reevoo could retrieve the product data as XML, pull out the identifiers (upc, mfg/partnumber, etc) and search for appropriate reviews. Note - although I work at Amazon, my participation here is not meant to be a representation of Amazon's position on anything, and everything I write here is my own opinion. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
