I just browsed through their excellent site and even checked out the hotel that's in my city. As with many things, the vibe and aura of the site (and presumably the hotels too) is supposed to be very club-like and youthful. As a brand, they pull that off very well, but that also shrinks their potential customer base by a giant amount... Obviously there aren't too many hotel deals to be found at trendy places like these!

I always find it interesting when I read an article from a number of years prior and it points to a need that still isn't anywhere close to met. For the most part, online college programs are pretty good these days, but corporate universities are still few and far between, except in the most successful national and multinational establishment.

Amoeba reminds me of a few extremely small record stores that I used to frequent, but obviously with far more selection than 20 of them put together. At this point in time though, I find it somewhat odd that a retailer would spend so much on physical locations when so much selling is done on the internet, even in the used market. Specifically, for styles like New Orleans, Appalachian and other obscure ones, I'm surprised there's a market for those at all, outside Web shoppers.
