An URL That Will Make Me Love Amazon Forever

For all the talk flickr receives for its superior user experience (ie, the site is just nice and pleasant to use), Amazon deserves some props. Sure, the myriad tabs and weird fly-out boxes and middling search and hidden prices are annoying. But there’s one feature of the site that makes me love Amazon, and ensures I’ll always love Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/wheres-my-stuff.

Simple. Straightforward. Cute. It’s a question I ask myself all the time whenever I’ve ordered from them, and the page provides all the answers: it leads you straight to your recent order history.

Good stuff, gals and guys. Keep it up.

I’d like to mention that this is still my favorite URL from the Amazon.com internet website.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
