Amazon.com
Online shop launched in 1995 by Jeff Bezos, originally selling only books, but since extended to selling CDs, videos, DVDs, toys and games, electronic items, clothes, and even furniture. By 2000 Amazon claimed 17 million customers in over 160 countries, and was one of the world's most visited Web sites, but had not yet made a profit. The company recorded its first net profit of $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2001 and reported profits of $359 million in 2005.
As well as localized UK, German, French, Canadian, and Japanese sites (each selling over 1 million book titles), the Amazon.com family of Web sites also includes the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
