Just a thought: It would be nice if this code also matched the smile.amazon.com domain (the rest of the URL is always the same) which allows non-profits to get a cut of the revenue.
Is there a reason we try to scrape using mobile pages from Amazon? The desktop pages contains a description meta tag that we can use to improve reliability and avoid breaking Amazon onebox everytime they change their HTML.
Hmm the description meta tag is pretty good but I’m not sure if on Amazon.com. *Free* shipping on qualifying offers is too much of a distraction. I would like to find out your thoughts on this
Hmm I tried out using the description in the meta tag and I think it feels too much like an advertisement rather than providing more information about the product.
I just bumped it. I can’t say for sure if we were on the latest because our gemfile referenced a version that was pushed to Rubygems that wasn’t also set in our repo. I can confirm that now we are on the very latest onebox code.
