2019 Annual Snapshot

2019 Annual Snapshot

As I noted last year, Amazon no longer gives us discrete number results when we do searches. That means all of my traditional content searches can’t be done, as I’ had done in previous posts in

the Annual Snapshots category

However, I can still list the hardware, which I think is interesting:

Bufo’s Alexa Skills

* I am linking to the same thing at the regular Amazon site, and at AmazonSmile. When you shop at AmazonSmile, half a percent of your purchase price on eligible items goes to a non-profit you choose. It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get. 

Shop ’til you help! 🙂
