"Amazon.com
is an American e-commerce company based in Seattle, Washington. It
was one of the first major companies to sell goods over the Internet
and was one of the iconic stocks of the late 1990s dot-com bubble.
After the bubble burst, Amazon faced skepticism about its business
model, but it made its first annual profit in 2003. Founded by Jeff
Bezos in 1994, and launched in 1995, Amazon.com began as an online
bookstore but soon diversified its product lines by adding VHSs,
DVDs, music CDs, MP3s, computer software, video games, electronics,
apparel, furniture, food, toys, and more." – wikipedia.com
