Hey Symbios63, is there any chance that we might see an overlay of actual sales trends on the Amazon trends?  I'd love to see if they correlate.

You mean : doing the same thing with the best selling list on amazon ? If yes, then no, that would take me way too much time a day. (although I agree it would be interesting)

 

Not exactly.  I don't just mean Amazon's sales; I mean overall sales.  What I'm interested in seeing is how predictive Amazon is of the overall market.  I know you aren't using the sales numbers, but it would allow us to see if the trends correlate.  It would give us some idea if a rise/drop in popularity on Amazon is actually indicative of a rise/drop in real-world sales totals.

Does that make sense?

Ah ok :). This, I can totally imagine doing it in the future. Would require some work but definitely doable.
