Amazon is up there too.

At least with Amazon, all you need is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O6G5TW

Which isn't too bad...

Luckily, everything from /ref= on is optional, and the alphanumeric code that comes after product is an actual product code. Replace it with the 9-digit ISBN for a book, and you'll get the book, for example.
That's intentional. They'd rather not give out a bunch of Google Accounts usernames (which would also be a lot of Gmail users).
