>>Shop bots don't necessarily require signing up vendors. >> But when combined with other services that may not be a problem. Without some form of agreement with the merchant there is NO possible way a shop bot can DIRECTLY access the merchant's database. Such shop bots that do not access as many merchants will not be as thorough in their searches. >>So what if Amazonvaluationgonenuts.com has a shop-bot? So what? Well you just have to wait until the next quarterly release to hear the new deals junglee has made. (Hint: greater access to users). Seems that you are downplaying the role of bots. Is this a change of heart from the earlier argument that bots are important? >>Amazon.com is falling behind in developing new internet technology >>and must go out and spend hundreds of millions of shareholders >>money through dilution of the stock to try to keep up Just in case you forgot, AMZN is NOT a software developer. They have not, are not, and will never develop all the software they need. This is stated in their quarterly releases. Even great companies buy software of some sort or other. >>speculators will pay the difference. Okay, us longs will pay the difference.
