omg the internet is here



Two days ago, Mark R. Probst and a group of other's noticed something odd was happening on Amazon.

Now it's hit the mainstream media, with The Los Angeles Times posting about the shenanigans.

Oh, and have a Google Bomb: http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/amazonrank/ Because there are two weak spots in any cooperation: their PR and their monies. As I have done my little part in destroying both today, especially since I was eying a lovely little Welsh grammar.

And Powell's Books may be having a GLBTQ Book sale. The idea came from Twitter #amazonfail trend, which proves that there's always someone looking to fulfill a demand to make a quick buck. I'm finding all sorts of book vendors online from this. = )
