Amazon is hoping customers don't see any more dogs, after early problems on Prime Day meant people trying to shop got only images of the cute canines delivering an apologetic message. Amazon's website ran into some early snags Monday on its much-hyped Prime Day, an embarrassment for the tech company on the shopping holiday it created. Shoppers clicking on many Prime Day links after the 3 p.m. ET launch in the U.S. got only images of dogs — some quite abashed-looking — with the words, "Uh-oh.

How Retailers Are Contributing to Microsoft’s War with Amazon
It seems retailers want to have Microsoft’s (MSFT) back as the software giant takes care of theirs. Since Silicon Valley enterprise cloud startup Snowflake Computing launched in 2012, it has only used Amazon’s cloud (AMZN) to deliver its services. Snowflake, which enables customers to store and run data queries on cloud servers, is often used in retail. However, some retail customers weren’t comfortable with Snowflake only running on Amazon’s cloud. In a recent interview with CNBC, Snowflake CEO Bob Muglia said the company has now added Microsoft Azure due to strong customer demand.

Amazon's Prime Day Sales Soar Despite Glitches, Feedvisor Says
Amazon.com Inc. sales rose sharply during the first three hours of its Prime Day sales event, dispelling fears that the technical glitches that incensed shoppers would significantly hurt business. Shoppers spent 54 percent more in the first three hours of this year’s event -- 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. EST -- than in the first three hours of a year ago when the shopping bonanza began at 9 p.m., according to Feedvisor, which sells software to set prices in e-commerce. Amazon said sales in the first 10 hours of Prime Day grew at a faster pace than the same period of the event in 2017.

Amazon Prime Day Starts Off With a #Faildog
Twitter had the #failwhale, Amazon has the #faildog. Amazon.com (AMZN) apparently couldn't handle the influx of traffic on Prime Day, which started at 3 p.m. ET on Monday. Instead of getting promos for hot items like the Echo, users who went to the site a few minutes after the deals began got an image of a dog and an apologetic notice: "SORRY Something went wrong on our end." Amazon stock dropped about $11, or 0.6%,to $1,823, in the 15 minutes after Prime day launched. Amazon is the leading provider of cloud services in the U.S., so its inability to handle the influx of web traffic is somewhat troubling.
