Another Tool For Authors

Blogger has been messing with me tonight, and I'm running out of patience. I'm going to do one small, quick post. If Blogger lets me post it, I'll try again with another, longer second post.

Miss Snark called attention today to a beta test for a new site. The site is called TitleZ, and it is a database with a sorting feature for book rankings on Amazon.com.

Most authors compulsively check their books' rankings within Amazon on a regular basis. This website makes the task easier. You can search by keyword, title or author and get a listing together with historical ranking data.

Right now the site has lots of disclaimers, explaining that it is in beta testing (pre-release) mode so they make no guarantees as to the validity of the data. However, you can sign up now and play with it. The programmers are asking for feedback from the people registering during the pre-release period. When they go live later this year, you'll be able to purchase the service on a monthly basis for an "affordable" fee.

Here's the website: http://www.titlez.com/welcome.aspx

Enjoy!
