meadmakerDang, this is cool. This site will perform a search on amazon.com for keywords you enter, then graph the results of that search on a grid with two axes: average rating, and the number of ratings. The idea is, of course, that the average rating will be more accurate with more ratings in the average. This effectively plots consumer satisfaction versus rating accuracy.
Once you perform the keyword search, you can begin narrowing the results. There's a slider to set the price range. There's a tree structure to narrow the categories - so that you get, say, digital cameras and not books about digital cameras.
This is an incredible example of an application that takes existing data - the Amazon ratings - and turns it into information - something that humans can understand. Kudos to DeJarnet Consulting!
