    I think I’ve read pretty much every scrap of anything I can find on Amazon/Bezos. If you know of something non-obvious (not shareholder letters, the everything store) let me know what that is. I need more.

        Bezos’ mid-2000s TED talk is fantastic (the home motor!) but outlet orientation standards were still proliferating (what he calls “wrong” is now considered the correct orientation)

        You MUST find a way to read this completely iconic article: https://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2014/06/25/i-must-have-the-breakfast-octopus-how-jeff-bezos-does-business/ … I wound up randomly at this diner and knew it immediately from this article because they had “breakfast octopus” on the list

        The final interview which I would add to this set but cannot currently locate is Bezos in the 90s discussing having discovered that Amazon had been making a profit for several minutes, and how displeased he had become over this.

        TIL @JeffBezos was TIME's person of the year in 1999. You can read the article here "It's easy to sit here today nodding about the power of electrified commerce." "as of last week, Bezos had 200 billion nickels" (it's 13x that 19 years later) http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,992927-1,00.html … pic.twitter.com/lfVPUL7Ucj

        Best read is amazon source code. Their seo strategy, pre-loading concepts not deployed elsewhere, image CDN’s w/ geo-dynamic URLs, timely hidden CTA’s like private label furniture & Home cleanings & bike assembly - IMO their schema/properties/variables are core Ecom advantage. 🤖pic.twitter.com/CBC6j3YtZs
