Yes, I see what you're saying -- and I especially appreciate how early in the game we are. It makes sense to hedge bets. The thing is, from AMZN's perspective, I would've thought that RNWK's user base would be far more valuable than a media technology. Media technologies may be transient, but "eyeballs" have a more enduring value. I don't think the issue is Real vs. Liquid vs. any other platform; instead, I think it's about bringing users into AMZN's sphere of influence. If I were Bezos, I'd want to strike up relationships with RNWK and ADBE (Acrobat user base) in order to gain access to millions of potential consumers.
