One down, three to go (Amazon/Zappos)

July 22, 2009 – 10:50 pm

Read this tweet from a week ago.

Then read this news.

Then start thinking about what it will look like when Bezos knows exactly how ahead of him I am, and buys the other three.

Wal-mart of the internet, only much bigger.

  • Nice, amazing call on that one - interesting how Amazon is making smart and focused bets by diversifying vertically instead of horizontally, which probably explains the contrast with eBay today.

    Also cool how you just used Twitter now to verify that for the public. I think we're going to see more of that in other fields too - sports, politics, academia, etc. Tweets don't lie.

  • lets hope that $AMZN doesn't get overly greedy, in search of shareholder/CxO bonuses/profits, and slash the *awesome* customer service and expedited shipping. hopefully this isn't another takeover takedown.
  • They bought the service and shipping. Worry not
  • will they take zappos public (traded), so that i can buy into a great brand?
  • Ticker amzn
  • Maybe not UPS, but the others. Yous on it.
  • Mr. Sam is spinning in his grave!!
