Finalmente e depois de sucessivos adiamentos abriu hoje a tão aguardada loja de downloads de música sem DRM e em formato MP3 de 256 Kbps da Amazon. São mais de 2,3 milhões de títulos pertencentes a 180 mil artistas de 20 mil companhias discográficas independentes e majors entre as quais a Universal Music e a EMI, incluindo nomes como Radiohead e Pink Floyd - embora os Beatles continuem de fora do mundo digital, vários álbuns de John Lennon estão também disponíveis.

As has been written about on Radar and Read/Write Web, Amazon has started embracing wikis on their site and in their investments. They have upped the stakes with the release of Amapedia yesterday. Taking the place of the stunted ProductWiki, they now have a very robust site (and Java wiki platform) that allows users to create and tag their own product articles. The articles are directly linked from their Amazon product pages. I met with Frank Martin and Wally Tseng of Amazon last week and got a sneak peek of the site.
