Google will drain Amazon

Re: [spiers] Google will drain Amazon

Although Amazon started out selling books, I think
it's so diversified with the sale of other products
that I would find it hard to believe that Google can
torpedo the company. Why can't Amazon adopt a plan
similar to Google? I order quite a few things from
Amazon and the items have nothing to do with books. I
think Amazon will be around for some time.

Now newspapers, TV, Radio, that is another story.
Those media outlets have crested and will soon
disappear. I see a large market penetration for ipods
and wonder what kind of impact they will have on
Radio, TV, and the written word. Just some thoughts.
