The guys over at Frugaldad have been thinking about Amazon recently, and with good reason.
The story of its growth in the last 17 years can only be compared to the thunderous rise of Walmart. And in some ways, the curve is steeper: the million-title-bookseller turned world’s-largest-retailer hit the $50 billion sales mark in half the time it took Walmart. As far as online sales go, Amazon has laid waste to a list of successively higher-caliber competitors. Playing full-court with Barnes & Noble to Walmart all the way to Apple, Amazon just keeps outgrowing its labels: bookseller, e-tailer and now tech company?
All at the same time as constantly topping the customer service and experience rating charts. Co-incidence? We here at Return on Behavior don’t think so!

It’s a very interesting infographic showing how mush and how big Amazon has grown. I do believe they are joining the big boys at the top. Apple here they come.
