Amazon tags now available in RSS feeds

There's a new RSS feed system for Amazon tags. You can aggregate Amazon feeds in a news reader.

On most tag pages you'll find an orange RSS icon and the label "RSS feed." That means you can subscribe to track new products added to the tag or new discussions posted on Amazon's site.

For example, you can subscribe to the tag murder mystery to be notified of new books given that tag. The interesting thing is the feeds pass an Amazon Associates ID, giving a revenue opportunity to bloggers.

Three other things you can do:

1. Embed a widget on your site to show an updated list of the most popular products for that tag, such as wii game, and earn referral credit through the Associates program
2. Create special tags for your books or book club and publish feeds of recommended books to your members
3. Export products and tags into another application, creating your own mashup

You can also limit the RSS feed to tags used by a single person -- yourself or any other Amazon customer.
