A screencast is worth a thousand words March 3, 2006

I was trying to explain to my gf what my research was all about, but it was hard to explain, and so I made a screencast. But before you watch this screencast, try the following:

  1. go to http://www.amazon.com/
  2. search for "typography"
  3. tell me how many paperback books on typography published in 2004, 2005, and 2006 you have found

Was it easy for you to do that? Did you try to look for a Sort by Year feature?… Now watch the screencast:

This looks very cool. The mother of all screenscrapers ;-)

Poor that my notebook doesn’t have Quicktime installed yet.
