THINK ABOUT IT! NEW SHOP ONLINE TO COME ~OFF TOPIC A BIT~
Food for thought.

Emphasise the fact that "Basic Cable" will include on-cable shopping, remember this is as Amazon.com but on your basic (TV) cable and at no cost to the consumer. I can also picture Excite right there bringing most of anything else you need.

I feel Amazon (Amazon.com) needs to cut a deal with (IATV) before (IATV) takes over folks! AOL you watching also? :)

The rush is on! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Need directions, click the tv remote, the reason they mention it works with your computer.... well you can send a print command to print out your driving directions after you buy a new car online and need to get to the dealership.

All best

>> Bezos is the most dangerous type of CEO, a bright, articulate person who is just wrong about the future.

The most awesome thing about this new warehouse is Amazon now will have the capacity for $5 Billion annual sales. At that scale it must put a lot of book stores and record stores out of business. Is that the shape of the future ? I am scared when I think of society dealing with each other through anonymous computers and giving up on personal face to face interactions.

Might add that with increased overhead, added distribution facilities etc. etc. this pup is starting to look like a distribution company with all the associated overhead. Somewhat like a tech data or ingram micro.... extremely loww margins with ever increasing gross sales. These companies are rarely valued anywhere near this pup. FWIW
