Amazon

We Pioneer Amazon strives to be Earth&s;s most customer-centric company where people can find and discover virtually anything they want to buy online. By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform. Founded by Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com website started in 1995 as a place to buy books because of the unique customer experience the Web could offer book lovers. Bezos believed that only the Internet could offer customers the convenience of browsing a selection of millions of book titles in a single sitting. During the first 30 days of business, Amazon fulfilled orders for customers in 50 states and 45 countries - all shipped from his Seattle-area garage. Amazon&s;s evolution from Web site to e-commerce partner to development platform is driven by the spirit of innovation that is part of the company&s;s DNA. The world&s;s brightest technology minds come to Amazon.com to research and develop technology that improves the lives of shoppers and sellers around the world
