The Amazon/Blogger Toolbar

There's one thing that's been bugging me about being an Amazon "Associate". It would be nice to have a little browser-add-in -- a toolbar -- that would make it easy to blog about specific products.

Say I want to mention a DVD or a book. The toolbar would automagically detect the mention and create the correctly HTML, hyperlink and image tags included. By right-clicking on my blogger text box, I could paste the HTML into my blog post. And it would include my Associates URL encoding so I get credit for any click-throughs.
