A Few, Notable Amazon.com Purchases via kintespace.com for the Q1/Q2 2006
So we here in the kinté space try to make a few pennies from working on the Web—and I must say in defense against children of inheritance blowing Internet bubbles with SOAP and other Web services—that my financial goals on the Web are relatively humble (no maxing out credit cards with six-figure networking equipment and sleeping five deep in luxury Silicon Valley apartments used as barracks for aspiring billionaires). I’m looking first for revenue that can pay for the dollars used to keep kintespace.com running. The next levels of revenue are considerable and so I consider them…
So, Amazon.com is one trickling revenue stream. The affiliate program offered by this company (and others like Overstock.com) provides me with an opportunity to ‘ask’ for money from the Internet public without using more violent, commercial methods of mass-new-media advertising (pop ups and floats). The affiliate income recorded by Amazon.com provides me with some kind of window looking out to the kind of people supporting kintespace.com. The following product purchases reveal a very intriguing group of people:
- Someone interested in material from Journal of Australian Studies bought “Divine Browns and the Mighty Whiteman: Exotic Primitivism and the Baudin Voyage to Tasmania in 1802.” This is interesting on so many levels. The title is packed full interesting stuff… What is more is that this Amazon product is not a book: it an HTML document! My wild guess is that this purchase is free-associated with “Runoko Rashidi: Hanging With The “Blackfellas” Down Under.”
- Germany’s Black Holocaust, 1890–1945: The Untold Truth! certainly must be related to “A. Tolbert, III: African Victims of Nazi Extremism.” I had no idea that there were more books about this topic! We appreciate your helpful support whoever you are!
- Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush is another publication in Adobe PDF format. This digital publication stuff must have some potential… I assume that this purchase is related to the highly controversial “Amiri Baraka: Somebody Blew Up America” here at kintespace.com.So it goes without saying—but I will write to you all—much appreciation for your support. Your generative efforts are making history. Welcome to the kinté space!
