Glenn, the AOL and Amzn relationship grows stronger. Can you remember when they were tiny Kleiner children? >SEATTLE and DULLES, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2000-- Citing Successful Performance, the Companies Extend Their Previous Agreement, Making AOL Amazon.com's Largest Online Marketing Partner Amazon.com's Wide Category Selection to Be Available Across Several AOL Brands, Making Shopping Amazon.com Even Easier for Online Consumers Leading online retailer Amazon.com (www.amazon.com) and America Online, Inc. (NYSE: AOL), the world's leading interactive services company, today announced a promotional alliance under which Amazon.com's broad selection of products will be available across several America Online, Inc. brands. This agreement extends the companies' prior marketing alliance, established in 1997. The alliance, an effective way of introducing customers to Amazon.com, brought new shopping choices to millions of AOL.COM and Netscape Netcenter users; this new agreement builds on that success and makes America Online, Inc. Amazon.com's largest online partner. Bringing consumers the easiest, most convenient electronic commerce experience is a hallmark of both Amazon.com and AOL. Through this extended alliance, Amazon.com will be widely available across AOL.COM, Netscape Netcenter and CompuServe, enabling users of these brands to readily access Amazon.com's vast selection of products and services, including electronics, kitchen products, tools, toys, books, music, DVDs and more. The agreement will also make it more convenient to order-and pre-order-extremely popular items such as new digital cameras and titles such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. "We want to make shopping as easy as possible for our customers," said Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "We're happy to extend our alliance with AOL, a company that shares our vision for electronic commerce and makes it even more convenient for people to shop Amazon.com." Bob Pittman, President and Chief Operating Officer, America Online, said: "Amazon.com is one of the best-known online retailers in the world, and I'm pleased to extend a relationship that has clearly been successful for both of us over the past several years. Amazon.com offers exactly the kind of quality, selection and customer service that AOL.COM and Netscape visitors have come to know and trust, and by extending these relationships and expanding them to include CompuServe, this new alliance gives consumers more reason than ever to shop online with these America Online, Inc. brands."
