How can AMZN compete with YHOO?? I must be missing something....who needs AMZN if YHOO is singing up merchants and providing one stop shopping? Don't forget AOL, who has been the bonafide pioneer of e-tail commerce. Anyone who has used AOL for more than 5 minutes can see that, as you are barraged with advertising for products. But you see, it doesn't matter. Dorothy, the Tinman, and Scarecrow are all off to see the Wizard together....walking blithely down the yellow brick road, which shines from internet gold. Dorothy is AOL...warm, interesting and intriguing (content rich). Yahoo is the Tinman. No heart, with a skin of metal. (fast, uncluttered, efficient site). Amazon is Scarecrow...scaring the bejeebers out of the short-sellers <ggg> for now anyway...but sooner or later the onlookers will realize that Scarecrow doesn't have the stuff to keep aggressive competitors from swooping in and pecking at the farmer's (Bezos') seeds.
