Fast Five: Amazon – Be Afraid, Very Afraid

This week’s Fast Five video is ready for your viewing pleasure. We christened a new studio setup and format and would love to hear what you think.

Anne and Carter get heated discussing the impending dominance of Amazon, and we somehow also manage to find time to cover point-of-sale systems, Google, Macy’s, Facebook, and Alibaba.

You can check out our video below:

And, for those of you that also enjoy our podcasts, you can also view our SoundClound and iTunes pages to hear the audio.

Be careful out there,

Chris and the Omni Talk team
