Amazon buys DPReview.com
Wow, this is really great news. Amazon has bought DPReview.com for an undisclosed amount. That site is consistently great for any photography gear review they do and while they do a lot, it’d sure be nice to see them do some more. The site, technically, is kind of lack luster - their forum software is lacking and I’d like to see a better comparison chart. So I’m hoping that the Amazon acquisition helps in two ways - free’s up Phil to get more gear and write more reviews and also revamps his site into something with better tech behind it.
It’s great news. I’m glad to see someone getting rewarded for putting out consistently good content in great volume and not just coming up with an idea and coding it up over a weekend (not that there’s anything wrong with that, either, it’s just you know.. you still need good content). And you know I like the boys at Amazon, I think this move again shows how smart they are. Congrats to Phil and company.
