Forget AJAX and web services. Here is the coolest Internet product launch of the year:

Amazon.com Groceries

Some points from the site:

• More than 10,000 non-perishable grocery items. Selection is growing every day.
• All items are eligible for free Super Saver Shipping and Amazon Prime
• A new “Shopping List” feature. Like Wish Lists, but designed for things you buy repeatedly.

A key quote is “and when we carry a brand, we’ll try to carry every flavor available: not just the most popular flavors of Jell-O, but all flavors, from apricot to wild strawberry and the 70 flavors in-between.” In other words, this could be the Amazon.com of grocery shopping. Oh wait, it is!

Did you catch that part about it being eligible for Amazon Prime? Wow. I think I just stopped caring that the only large grocery store in my neighborhood just closed down.

“I’m not only an employee, I’m also a customer…”
