    I have just been looking at the Amazon site and they are advertising
    the fact that thier site can be accessed as a web service. The idea is
    that third parties write their own websites selling books/cds/videos
    etc and under the covers these websites will be hooking into Amazon
    and ultimately selling Amazons products, the third party website then
    gets a referral fee for the sale.

    ...sounds like a good idea, but the referal fees arnt that high (from
    2.5%).

    BUT, It got me wondering, Are there any other companies offering
    similar schemes? Obviously plenty of sites will offer the bog standard
    "add our URL to your site", but are there any others that open up via
    web services like this?

    Thanks for any help!
