Amazon’s Path to Profitablity
Give you a hint: It’s not selling books!
Nope, it’s selling software and services. Hey, I guess we are a serivce economy after all! According to this story at Wired News, Amazon.com has made their real money selling the software that runs their website and selling customized portal services for big customers. (Sort of like the work my wife did for IndigoPool.com.) And, they seem to be doing it for smaller customers, too, though the article didn’t seem to focus on that as much. In any case, it’s interesting to me because Amazon is one of the few survivors of the DotBomb.
Well, dang it, it was interesting to ME!
