Is the irony that even though Jeff Bezos is worth billions of dollars, he still couldn’t get a date with Anna K.?

I’m male, and I also only recognized bezos.

[...] Om Malik has more today on the innovative online retailer: They were the first ones to tap into user generated content - the reviews and user recommendations - a concept that has been widely imitated elsewhere. That was in the early days free, but it might not be the case in the future. I think their whole Mechanical Turk effort could be the first step towards a world where a compensation scheme is put in place for “user generated content.�? Sure for now its only a couple of pennies, but its a start and better than other who are simply freeloading off the backs of their digital slaves… oops I meant, community. [...]

Warning: Don’t Underestimate Amazon

While we’re all coming to terms with our Google obsession (apparently their lunches were more interesting than anything else on the web last Friday), companies like Amazon are quietly changing the world - and getting away with it! How quickly…

I guess that picture of Kournikova & Bezos(founder Amazon) was taken during 2003 when Amazon announced that it would sell Kournikova designed sports bra`s in Amazon.

Probably the irony could be that Amazon as you have written being “Harbinger of Web 2.0 Trends” sold sports bra`s once upon a time ;-)
