1: Amazon Germany is now connected to DHL. When DHL transmits the information that a parcel couldn’t be delivered and is back at the station, the recipient is informed per email as well.
2: Twitter opens the ‘firehose’ to everybody (at some point early 2010). This will be huge in a way I can’t predict yet. More stable 3rd party search and possible the return of native ‘track’.
3: Amazon announced that if you buy a DVD on Amazon you will be able to watch that film via the On Demand service shortly after the purchase. While the selection so far is limited this is obviously a big advantage compared to iTunes since it gives you the ‘back-up’ and artwork while still being able to watch immediately.
