On #1 I too had the same question, but I think the difference there is that department/grocery stores are re-sellers. They've already bought the goods from the third-party and are choosing to re-sell it at a markup. Amazon on the otherhand is a platform which only enables the initial sale.

Ha, that's great! Fun idea. I recently made a URL shortening service that generates a random adjective/noun pair, and I specifically looked for a 'clean' set of words. I would've never thought of doing the opposite :) http://shrt-url.azurewebsites.net/ https://github.com/natejenson/url-shortener
