Sounds interesting. Scanning his article I didn't find something like a "download link" or similar.

Is this a real product or just a name for the mix of these technologies?

Anyway, a .NET implementation would sound really great!

You might appreciate my "Zuggest" tool.

It uses the "Ajax" concepts you're talking about and works similarly to Google Suggest but searches against the Amazon Product database as you're typing.

Check it out: http://www.FrancisShanahan.com/zuggest.aspx

It's built with Javascript, Web Services, SOAP, XMLHttp, XML, C# and ASP.NET and SQL Server.

Would love to get some feedback on it.
