It doesn't handle zooming in and out very well - it should remap already displayed products - but, yes, pretty cool.

#5Its interesting to see that most of the customers seem to be women(or men buying for women). Might be worth taking a look to see some consumer buying choices.
ps: I only waited for few minutes though.

It's hard to explain the appeal of Zappos, but one of my friends told me that she can buy ten pairs of shoes for an upcoming event, try them all on at home, keep the one or two she likes and return the rest. Basically, it's like online shopping mashed up with real window browsing.

I would say one of the most useless mashups I have seen. It is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

#8The site seems to map purchases down to the individual address of the customer (you just have to zoom in a while to get there). As a potential zappos customer, I can't help but feel a little weirded out that my order information is so public. I can't really think of any real security violations (other then a really convoluted phishing app), but it'd be interesting to see if they can even legally report this data under their user agreement policy

It probably isn't the actual address. GMap just doesn't allow you to put fuzzy points in, I have had difficulty with that before.
So if you did try to trace down that person you would be knocking on a random door asking about a shoe they don't own.

70% usage of Zappos is women.
