How You Know Amazon has Made it

Amazon doesn’t need me to tell them they have “made it” and with a market cap of $56B they are obviously doing a lot of things right. Still, this morning I saw my house absolutely littered with new boxes from the company and realized I didn’t know what most of the items in the boxes were. Seems to me that a company becomes indispensable when they start to deliver products in virtually all the categories of your shopping list from clothes to toiletries.

    Amazon has definitely hit that critical mass that’ll set them up for long term profitability. I personally like their strategy to be the “backbone” for so many affiliates too. The brand keeps getting marketed – and keeps selling it’s inventory – without having to try as hard.
    The question is – can a competitor ever outdo Amazon? Or have they taken permanent authority for “collective e-commerce”?
    By the way, great blog – I’m really enjoying reading your posts.

    Thanks for the nice comments – I can’t see how anyone can take them on except perhaps Google or if eBay and Yahoo were to combine without screwing things up. Wal-Mart is trying and perhaps Target could evolve to be a threat but they really have such a strong position it is tough to see a real threat on the horizon.
