Amazon.co.uk Widgets - Available Now

Amazon Widgets are a series of small, visually dynamic and easily configurable widgets that feature products from Amazon on blogs, websites and social networking pages. 
In as little as one minute, users can populate a widget with their favorite Amazon products and their comments about those products, and select from a set of color and layout themes to match both their mood and website. The simple-to-use web interface for building and implementing a widget can be found at: http://widgets.amazon.co.uk

As of today 6 new Widgets are available for you to use, with further Widgets launching in the near future. Each day for the next few days on the Amazon.co.uk Associate Blog we will be featuring one of the widgets and highlighting its functionality in detail. Here is an overview of the widgets: http://widgets.amazon.co.uk

• Slideshow: Pick favorite images from the Amazon catalog and present them as a stylish slideshow.  Showcase favorite CD cover art, present recently read books, or even reveal favorite breakfast cereals. Slideshow also lets users caption the selected images.  See an example of Slideshow at http://obscuresound.com/.

• My Favorites: Express yourself by recommending and commenting on favorite products from Amazon. This widget lets everyone know how you feel and what you like by showing product images, information and your own comments.  Lori is showcasing her favorites at http://www.austenquotes.com with her "Books by Jane," "Books about Jane," and "Austen Movies" widgets.

Product Clouds engage site visitors by displaying product titles that are relevant to the content of the page in a cloud or cluster with the most popular product bolded.
