Not trying to be pedantic, but isn't every business trying to separate "your money from your wallet in exchange for some product or service?" The only potential difference I could see (looking at it through this lens) is whether it's a consumer or business oriented company.
For what it's worth, I'd categorize Amazon as (principally) an eCommerce company.
- stronglikedan 10y agoI suppose that is so. I meant more in the sense that all of the tech they develop makes it easier for consumers to consume other products and services. Their tech isn't an "end game". I.e. They're not making things like smart fridges, rc cars, and etc. (Yet - unless that smart fridge allows you to order the products they sell and watch their streaming video in the kitchen.) All (maybe most?) of their tech products facilitate the purchase of the products made by other companies, whether it be allowing the consumer to purchase things easier, or enhancing their fulfillment process to get the products to the consumer faster. I guess I was more debating the fact that some like to classify them as a predominantly tech company, but I neglected to actually say that.
