It's a page-turner of a search engine: Looking for a book that talks about some obscure subject? This week, online retail giant Amazon.com made it even more tempting to buy up large. You can search not only for a book title but for mentions of the subject within
the 33 million pages of more than 120,000 books. You can then read the relevant and adjacent page of that book (for "copyright reasons" you need to register free as an Amazon customer).
Not the wax museum: We're not sure why a Kiwi is obsessed with a Victorian graveyard in the south of London but there is something strangely compelling if not eerie about Jonathan Clark's website containing photos he has taken of Streatham Cemetery, over the past two years. He is also selling prints.
Kill for more detail: If you're among the first to have seen Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, Kill Billmf, can handle the violence and want to learn more, the official website has production notes in PDF format.
The science of replies: When will someone respond to your email? HP Labs has conducted research to try and find the answer and has issued its findings under the curious title of "a study of rhythms in email usage".
Another online mall: An online mall with the feel of a real St Lukes was one of the first concepts pursued by website hopefuls in New Zealand. Depending on your view, they either misjudged e-commerce or were ahead of their time. Parnell-based It's a Bargain has launched such a mall. The "shops" will be owned and operated by franchisees.
