http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/15/market-america-acquires-bill-gates-backed-shopping-site-shop-com/Becoming the largest Internet retailer by 2020 may have just gotten a little more difficult for YTB and Zam Zuu as competitor Market America acquired the giant shop.com.

The acquisition will combine SHOP.COM’s strength in technology and merchandising, providing customers with the latest, high-tech online shopping, with Market America’s high-touch, personal shopping experience, including the industry’s only unlimited cash back program.

It will expand the current people-powered, relationship-based shopping portal into a content rich destination that informs, entertains and guides customers in their shopping experience.
Wow, before the acquisition Market America had 2500 stores and UNLIMITED cash back.
