Amazon acquired Goodreads, http://www.goodreads.com/ .. a book review/chat/social site. Here's a post on the possible "evil" but it seems Amazon is sticking to its "I'm a retailer, stupid" line and I think I agree. http://paidcontent.org/2013/03/28/first-do-no-harm-my-interview-with-amazon-and-goodreads-on-the-future-of-goodreads/
Its interesting that, re: our recent chats about Google, Amazon seems clear. Its retail. No issues. Any evils we commit can be understood from retail. RETAIL, get it?! BTW: As I post this via the new GMail UI, I prefer it to the older one .. a lot more efficient use of space, although you gotta read the manual to figure out where all the menus/buttons are. -- Owen
