    Regarding your comment that the blogger talking about Amazon doesn’t mention his position, this is in the second paragraph of his first numbered point:

    I worked as a software developer on the Email Platform team.

    So he does state his position, just to correct the record.

    On Amazon’s Ex-Employee: Awesome, I wish I could speak so highly of any company I’ve quit.

    On the Web Usability: If more people had to USE the designs they come up with, a lot of these would probably go away on their own.

    On Internet Advertising: Interesting, especially the reaction, but I do think he might have spoken too much from a “savvy” perspective. Intrusive ads may go away, but contextual ads have some use and a lot of people get them confused with content when the two things are threaded transparently. Also, I didn’t see anything where he mentioned advertising as a subliminal brand-building (I’m thirsty and for some reason I want a Coke), but then again he said LESS not COMPLETELY GONE.

    Good stuff!
