AmazonBot: UI updates, languages and marketplace support
We’re pretty excited to push another update to our first Google Wave bot – the AmazonBot. The update includes a refreshed UI, Amazon Marketplaces support, and language localization. We’re well aware of the fact that our translations may be off (we’re trying!) and welcome any and all feedback.
- UI Updates: Maintaining our minimalist approach to providing content from within Google Wave, we’ve retooled the UI so that future bot releases can share the same components. We’ve also added a new settings dialog for selecting your default Amazon Marketplace and preferred language.
- Marketplace Support: Answering requests from users, we’ve added the option to select an appropriate Amazon Marketplace. No point shopping for items that Amazon won’t deliver to your doorstep right?
- Language Localization: Our first attempt for language support. In addition to specifying your Amazon Marketplace, we now offer the option to specify your preferred language. This setting is not shared between all participants and is defaulted to your browser locale. UI brokenness may ensue but we’re working on it. Currently supporting: English (US, CAN, UK), Spanish, Japanese, German, and French.
Shopping Amazon’s Japan Marketplace but still a little rough reading Japanese? Simply change the language option from the settings dialog. Stay tuned for more updates by subscribing to our RSS feed or following us on Twitter @withwaves.

New bot support: Click to query selected text
We have updated the AmazonBot, AmazonMP3Bot and eBayBot to support contextual text selection. To see this new feature in action you need to have the Robots installed with the extension installer.
Simply edit any message in a wave with text and select the word(s) that you want the robot to analyze. Once the text is selected click the toolbar extension and we will automatically add the robot to the wave and analyze your selection offering matched content based on the selected robot.

Department search filtering for AmazonBot
The Google Wave AmazonBot just received a tiny update adding support for querying a single Amazon.com department e.g Electronics or Software. Anyone who has spent any time shopping for items on Amazon can agree there is too much good stuff. We realized that as convenient as it is to carry a conversation on Google Wave with the AmazonBot running in the background, the results may be too scattered. A simple query for ‘iPhone’ may return results from Amazon Books, Electronics, or Wireless. Now you can trigger a query for results from a single department both inside of a conversation or from the gadget itself. Continued »
