   Reuters 
   12:00 p.m.  27.Aug.99.PDT
   Online retailer Amazon.com, reacting to concerns it was violating the
   privacy of customers, said Thursday it would let customers opt out of
   a new feature that shows group purchasing patterns.
   
   The Seattle-based company said it would allow people to exclude their
   purchases of books, videos, and CDs from its "Purchase Circles" page
   that shows sales rankings for groups such as corporations and for
   cities and states.
