Amazon.com —
Who would have thought in 1994 when Jeff Bezos launched Amazon.com that he would be launching an on-line shopping behemouth. I still remember the early commercials that would make me laugh. Who knew he was running the business out of a garage? But soon the commercials started featuring their warehouse space and I figured this was a really serious venture.Starting with wholesale book sales, the site took off quickly. Priofits though were a different matter. It wasn't until 10 years later that Amazon showed its first annual profit. Fortunately, when the dot com bubble burst Bezos and Amazon had their hardcore cadre of believers.
Today
It's hard to imagine something that you can't buy on Amazon. Along with Newegg.com it is one of my favorite places to shop for electronics and computer gear. There is always a special going on and I can generally count on free Super Savings Shipping.
Navigation
Navigating the Amazon site is simple and straight-forward. The system rarely ever hiccups. Not only does Amazon give you entree to their prices and products but provide a way into the product vaults of their trading partners.
It's a snap to go from a product page to a specifications page and then on to a section of user reviews. I find that handy.
Not Just Shopping, Community
Although from the outset, the priority of Amazon was to move merchandise, they quickly also built a community. In fact, Amazon probably blazed the way for sites like Viewpoints over a decade later.
My Viewpoint
Whether I'm ready to shop, researching a buy or looking for forums of product users, Amazon is a place I stop by at least several times a week. I highly recommend them.
