Amazon Buys Zappos –

Having talked to a Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos, about a year ago about Children's Educational Network, I was throwing some high fives when I heard that Amazon bought Zappos for stock valued at over $800 million! Shows that Internet paydays are still alive and well.  

I have been on tour of the Henderson NV facility a few times and met with the marketing department about Club TUKI too.  It was incredible!

If you are ever in Las Vegas call Zappos and tell them you want to get a tour and it will absolutely blow you away!  It will give a real perspective on why they have grown so big and done such a great job for the "culture" they have created for their employees.

Here's a video I found on YouTube where Jeff Bezo's discuss this acquisition of Zappos.com.
