An ad agency made Alexa apologize to all the losing Amazon HQ2 cities
Amazon may not have picked these locales for its second headquarters, but at least now they get weirdly specific apologies from Alexa.
When Amazon announced that it would be splitting its long-awaited HQ2 between Long Island City in Queens, New York, and Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia, it left 17 other “finalists”–who weren’t within throwing distance of Manhattan and Washington, D.C.–joining the chorus that perhaps the race to win HQ2 was less of a “contest” than originally advertised.
