I discovered something quite interesting today. Amazon thinks that a URL entered by anyone but them is profanity. The entire Western world has been unable to find a definition that they can agree on, but not Amazon.
I recently had another article published by Ezines.com on manager traits. I went to my profile page to see if I could find the place where authors can leave comments about themselves. Things had changed a bit from the last time I visited. I realized that I would have to be a bit creative in this respect.
I spied the Interests page and put a message in there to say that if people wanted to read about manager traits, then here was the link. I tried a Tiny URL first. Amazon flagged it as profanity. I laughed out loud. Oh, it must be the word ‘tiny,’ though I can’t imagine why. So I put in the entire original URL from Ezines. No dice. So, where did it finally go? Now that would be telling. The folks at Amazon might be reading this, too.
