Not generally true in that era, though. Alexa and IMDB, yes. Junglee, Planetall/Shoptheweb, Exchange, Live Bid, Bibliofind, Accept, etc - mostly dead. Good list

Good list of Amazon acqs/investments at http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/amazon.png http://tctechcrunch.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/amazon.png
- robryan 16y agoDepends how successful the sites were I guess, if IMDB started going backwards I'm sure it would have ended up the same as those properties. I think having the founder still working there and not jumping ship as soon as some vesting period is over is a good advertisement for being acquired by amazon. Also it's still it's own site, could have easily been rolled into amazon in an attempt to push more DVD sales over the years.
