Spotlight:  Amazon guns for the retail market

We subscribe to 1,500+ blog/news feeds.  We do so because The Project Counsel Group (our parent) runs 6 websites and we have 45,000+ subscribers across a wide-range of interests.  Two of our sites are devoted to the technology-media-telecommunication (TMT) markets.   We thought our e-discovery readers might like a brilliant “off message” article about Amazon that came across our screens.  [ Caution!  There is NO mention of predictive coding, Judge Peck, TAR, or Rob Robinson's baseball card collection ]

Amazon versus local retail.  Like Walmart, Amazon is gunning for local retail, thanks to same-day delivery. Farhad Manjoo’s Slate piece is an intelligent read. It has been shared extensively on the social web, so there is a good chance you might have actually read it by now.  Have a look (click here).
