Amazon’s odd words

RageBoy has discovered that Amazon seems to be rolling out a feature that shows you for any particular book which phrases in it are “statistically improbable.” For example, Chris’ own Gonzo Marketing uses the phrase “public journalism” and “market advocacy.” Obviously those are not phrases unique to Chris’ book, so Amazon is doing some sort of statistical analysis to find phrases that have some prominence within a book and across books. Fascinating.

Unfortunately, apparently you need to be using the Safari browser to see this on Amazon. Or perhaps you need to be taking the same drugs as RB. Either way, get a Mac…before it gets you.
