Internet-giant Amazon has acquired Fabric.com, an online fabric store that calls itself “The Place To Go When You Sew”. According to the press release, the deal will allow Fabric.com to expand its selection of sewing materials while giving Amazon a better catalog of hobby and craft materials. The cost of the deal was not disclosed.
Fabric.com was launched in 1999, and joins a growing list of Amazon acquisitions that includes dpreview, a camera review site acquired in 2007, and Audible, which was acquired earlier this year.

They, in essence, did…
Twitter’s new round of investors includes Jeff Bezos’ company.
what a pun!
Amazon is slowly acquiring sites that where in competition with them and had a profitable business plan, I believe this is a great move by them and they are slowly becoming the end-all be-all of online shopping.

Amazon also just became the biggest shareholder in the european Netflix, Lovefilm which operates in UK, Germany and Scandinavia. Will be interesting to see if they make a move on Netflix in the US.
Amazon just keeps getting bigger and bigger! They seem to have a very good strategy in their acquisitions.
While I do think DIY/crafts is a growing market, fabric.com as is kind of sucks.
just another day another company amassed by amazon into its giant confederacy of sites…
Fabric – seems old world …but …. I suppose it is like comparing costs of the shoe for the horse and the “shoe” for the car (ie tyre)
The horse may be old tech but it still needs shoes, and the “shoe” for the car is generally less expensive!
Old tech still is relevant!
