Amazon to Enter the Online DVD Rental Business 243
ChrisF79 writes "Wired News is reporting that Amazon.com is hiring programmers to work with online dvd rentals. From the article: "Advertising for positions based at the company's Seattle headquarters, the listings seek engineers to help in 'building systems and algorithms that must move inventory between our fulfillment centers and our customers in a way that gives customers exactly what they want, when they want it.' The postings indicate they are specifically for an online DVD rental service." Netflix seems to have a stronghold on the market so despite numerous advantages for Amazon, especially economies of scale, can Amazon enter the market and surpass Netflix?"

Amazon awakens soon
We want cheap movies

Consider NoMoreNicksLeft,
Of humor, he was bereft,
He tried a haiku
And failed, as will you
So go back to your job of dick theft
Now in the case of Amazon.com
and whether their product will bomb.
It may work, you see
For you and for me,
But will it appeal to your Mom?
