+Though it could be argued that online grocery delivery services were one of the signs of the Apocalypse from the first internet bubble. But that doesn't seem to phase Amazon, the company has announced it will be [getting to the grocery delivery business][1].
+
+Of course there are already a handful of grocery delivery services out there, but most are very locally based, something Amazon Fresh, as it's called, could change if it succeeds.
+
+For the moment Amazon Fresh will be available by invitation only in the Seattle area and will feature pre-dawn deliveries. Use up the last of the greens in last night's dinner? No problem, just finish up the dishes and head over to Amazon.com to order more and they'll be sitting on the porch when you wake up.
+
+The deliveries will arrive in a "temperature-controlled tote" and there's no delivery charge as long as you meet the $25 minimum, otherwise it's $10 an order for the doorstep convenience.
+
+If you're in the Seattle area and you'd like an invite, you can sign up [here][3]. If you're not in the Seattle area, Amazon is taking expansion suggestions (apparently using the same form linked in the last sentence).
+
+While I'm the type who likes to inspect fresh groceries before I buy them, I'll admit that the idea of a delivery service has its appeal -- I've always regretted that I'm too young to have known that [Mayberry][2]-like world of milk delivery.
