You can shorten the URL for an item that Amazon sells. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000067DNF [1]^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [2]^^^^^^^^ [3]^^^^^^^^^^^^ [1] Well, duh. (Except: you might be able to omit the www., as apparently you can with google.) [2] Amazon's server/script engine (term?) is called "obidos". [3] Amazon has what it calls ASINs (amazon <something> identification numbers). For dead-tree books, ASINs coincide with ISBNs. I'm not sure how Amazon creates ASINs for other things, including DVDs, books on tape, and CDs. - tky
