Re: Facet sliders at Amazon

I guess this qualifies as a plug. We've had a slider up at facetmap for a 
while: <http://facetmap.com/browse>

I'd appreciate any feedback, since we'd like to develop and release a whole 
set of dynamic query tools that tie into the facetmap model. I need to know 
if it's the sort of thing web designers are looking for.

Thanks,
- Travis
