I was browsing through some books in amazon.com, when I discovered that the magical powers of Harry Potter have hacked the website. Normally, when I browse through a book, I always look at the section “What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing this Item?”
I find it very useful to gain insight on alternatives, and I eventually end up buying different books. Well, today, HP7 is on every single alternative list. See two examples (click to enlarge):
Try it for yourself. Pick a book, and give it a try at www.amazon.com So, what happened: Hack, magic or numbers?
Probably the later (I know, what a dissapointment!). Given the millions of copies sold, it’s no wonder that, no mater which book you pick, someone who has seen the webpage for the book… ended up buying her copy of HP7.
I found it funny, for a second (and until the effect wears off) it seemed that HP had hacked amazon!
