A couple of weeks ago, I started having problems accessing my Amazon account at home. I could log in, but all the account history - recommendations, previous purchases, wish lists - was empty. It was as if I had never purchased anything from them. What made this so strange was that I had no problem accessing the account history from work. I emailed them three times, but got no response.
Today I logged in at work to buy a textbook and yes, my account history is truly gone. No previous purchases, no recommendations, no wish lists, no preferences, no nothing. That might not sound like much except - I've had the account since 1998. That's ten years, which by Internet standards is positively antique. Ten years of someone's life is nothing to sneeze at anyway. I feel strangely violated.
