While not exactly innovating, Amazon has been taking advantage of more innovative technologies that it gets credit for. After launching its very Web 2.0-ish S3 distributed storage service and its EC2 virtual server service, Amazon has embraced the wiki platform.
Amapedia is a community for sharing information about the products you like the most.
Amapedia introduces an exciting new way of organizing products we call “collaborative structured tagging”. In a nutshell, it makes it easy for you to tag products with what they are and with their most important facts, and for others to search, discover, filter, and compare products by those tags.
Amapedia is the next generation of Amazon.com’s ProductWiki feature; all of your previous ProductWiki contributions were preserved and now live here.
