Happy Birthday: Amazon Turns Ten
In all my university courses that deal anyhow with the topics internet, e-commerce, e-business or online marketing, this company is most likely to be dealt with: Amazon.com, the first online book store, celebrates its 10th birthday in the coming week. Everything started on July 16th 1995 in a Seattle-base garage. To celebrate, Amazon has special offers and several "surprises". Amongst those is a live concert that will be streamed via the company's website.
To get to know more about the company, the New York Times has an interesting article about the "Retail Revolution". USA Today features an interview with Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos.
