A Little Expectations Mismatch Between Amazon and I
Yesterday I went looking on Amazon for a good book about space that wouldn’t be boring to my 3.5 y.o. My search string was “space solor system picture children”.
Amazon barfed on my search string, and offered up some product in lieu of results. Course it didn’t help that I misspelled “solar system”. (It’s my fancy new wireless keyboard’s fault…really….)
It took me a minute to realize that they must have been keying on my previous purchases, not on matches to substrings of my search strings, like “space solar system” or “space picture children”.
I definitely did a double-take when this screen showed. I mean, zombies? And project management? How are they similar to my search string?
Oh duh, they’re not. It’s just that I recently purchased “How To Survive A Robot Uprising” and some project management book, is all.
