> eBay's competitive status against Amazon's auction launch Now this should be interesting. According to you William, Ebay and Amazon are both unstoppable in their respective fields. First mover status means everything, according to you. So which is it? Will Amazon be defeated by Ebay because first mover status means everything? But that would mean Amazon's brand name doesnt profitably extend as well as you claimed. Which means Amazon will always be just a bookseller.. I'm afraid there is no answer that doesnt shatter some illusions you hold dear, is there? :)
