But in June 1998 [cue ominous music] Amazon branched out from books and added a Music tab to its fast growing e-commerce website... <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/cdnow-amazon-1998/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="cybercultural.com/p/cdnow-amazon-1998/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybercultural.com/p/cdnow-amaz</span><span class="invisible">on-1998/</span></a> <a href="/tags/internethistory/" rel="tag">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="/tags/cdnow/" rel="tag">#CDnow</a> <a href="/tags/amazon/" rel="tag">#Amazon</a></p>
