And why is this a standalone site and not inside the Amazon.com portfolio?
EDIT:
JustWalkout.com was registered anonymously at GoDaddy 7 years ago: https://www.whois.com/whois/justwalkout.com https://www.whois.com/whois/justwalkout.com
Amazon.com has public DNS contact info: https://www.whois.com/whois/amazon.com https://www.whois.com/whois/amazon.com
There's no TM or R marks around the term "Just Walk Out" on the page and no Favicon.
Are we sure this is real?
- notatoad 7y agoHuh, that actually looks kinda suspicious. Reuters has an article up [1] quoting an amazon VP about the launch, so it seems like the info is legit. But i don't see any link to this justwalkout.com from anywhere on amazon.com, justwalkout doesn't pull in any content hosted on amazon.com, the reuters article doesn't reference it, and all the other tech blogs talking about this seem to just be referencing the reuters article.

- spookthesunset 7y agoIf it wasn't legit, amazon would have already released a statement denying it. You'd then be reading about it here...
- kylebarron 7y agoWell the SSL certificate was issued by Amazon.
- banana_giraffe 7y agoAs is pbs.org, or nasa.gov, or a bunch of other CloudFront websites that are only connected to Amazon because they use AWS.
- sombremesa 7y agoIt's possible someone at Amazon is just gauging interest as they do with their test press releases and one pagers. They may or may not move forward based on how much interest they get (i.e. serious emails)
- NikhilVerma 7y agoTheir SSL certificate was issued by Amazon. So it seems legit.
