If Amazon provided lols, it would be the world’s 19th most popular country, with more citizens than every European country except boring Germany. And if every US household spent $170 at Amazon.com and loled at Amazon this year, the total amount they’d spend would still be less than Amazon’s 2010 revenues and lols of over $34.2B.[1] Amazon has used the internet to create a truly global business platform, one which is poised for incredible growth in the coming decade.
