Amazon.com has added a new way to browse all of the media you have ever purchased on their online store. It's called Your Media Library. The feature is essentially a Web 2.0 clone of the popular Delicious Library application for the Mac, with one key exception. You can't add something to the browser you didn't purchase on Amazon.com. You can browse the Your Media Library help pages here.
All of the items in your library can be tagged, searched and annotated. In my Amazon library I found books I purchased all the way back in 1997 to just a few months ago. The browser also lists items that you are eligible to read online as part of the Amazon Upgrade program, which was announced last year.
Amazon's Your Media Library has the potential to become a killer social commerce application. If they simply allow users to optionally open their the tag metadata so it aggregates into a cloud, Amazon can help customers find others who share interests and build a mini social network of book, music and movie lovers. Keep an eye on Amazon. Something tells me this is just the beginning for them. They're a sleeping Web 2.0 giant.
