Web merchants have their work cut out for them. A new study by Jupiter
Communications finds that many companies have a hard time simply responding to
E-mail inquiries that come in over the Web. Of 125 E-commerce sites visited by Jupiter,
42% took more than five days to respond, didn't respond at all, or listed no E-mail
address. Companies "just haven't taken the right approach to the Internet yet," says
Ken Allard, a Jupiter analyst. "To not respond to a user-initiated one-to-one relationship
is unforgivable."<<

From experience and word of month, I'd tend to believe Amzn is way ahead of the competion on their one- to- one marketing relationships with their customers. Good Article

The cover story on Business Week online and probably pulp version too is about Amazon. It is pretty good, IMO. If you are an AOL subscriber, it is at keyword BW. The web location is www.businessweek.com but I think you have to subscribe to read it there.
