Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
@Martin (Marty) Smith says,"Amazon will make more money from their cloud services than from book sales soon. Why?

Netflix's genius use of review curation shows, once again, the value of online scale and of thinking like an Internet marketer instead of print or brick and mortar based retailer....at least online."
