Amazon and Zappos in a tree

23 Jul 2009

This CEO Letter from Tony Hsieh announcing the Amazon takeover on Zappos is the funniest and most interesting CEO letter I've ever read. Don't miss the "Will we get a discount at Amazon?", "I'm a business/financial reporter. Can you talk like a banker and use fancy-sounding language that we can print in a business publication?" or "Can you talk like a lawyer now?" parts.

Jeff Bezos video is worth watching too:

Granted, those are among the funniest and most interesting CEOs too.

P.S. more fun from the trenches: Liveblogging The Jeff Bezos Zappos Video.
