Amazon offers syndicated feeds for various categories of products. Why not also offer RSS feeds of my wishlist or my personalized recommendations? Or of my order history? I would really like to keep track of and republish what I like, and it would be just plain useful to keep some of my friends' wishlists around— so I can stay apprised of their interests as well as quickly find gifts.

Update: I sent the following message to Amazon.com suggestions:

I love your new RSS feeds! But I think you could do one better by offering personalized RSS feeds. Why not give me an RSS feed of my wishlist? I could easily republish my wishlist on my weblog, showing visitors my interests. I could also subscribe to RSS feeds for my friends' wishlists, so I can easily give them gifts. It's a win-win: customers get better ways to follow along with each others' interests, and Amazon.com offers an omnipresent impulse buying option. It will only further cement Amazon's position as the definitive store—where you link when you want to talk about a product.

Good work!
