Bye E-BAY...

In my earlier posts, I noted that Ebay is probably one of the first of its kind to use the internet to build a multi million company based on buying and selling anything under the sun. I must admit that it is fun to window shop and sooner or later buy something from ebay. All their things are very interesting and can really make you buy even if you do not intend to.

I think, we should all take a hard look at ebay and its success story and how it used different technologies to promote its company.

As I say goodbye to ebay---let me leave you a video about ebay in the view of someone we all respect......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYokLWfqbaU.......

Going that EXTRA-MILE ---Ebay Style

What I like about E-Bay is that it goes beyond the buying and selling of goods. It has incorporated in its website a community that goes beyond what Ebay is really about. By clicking on this link, http://hub.ebay.com/community one can learn more about the added vision and goals of Ebay, which is saving the environment and giving an entire community a way to interact with each other. Anyone can get involved with its charity and environmental programs. It also promotes links to the american Red Cross and cancer society of America.

My criteria for a successful website (as I have recommended in my website evaluation paper )is to have an environmental section and a community base program section to promote something that is very helpful to our world today.

So GOOD JOB E-bay!

KNOWING Syracuse and Syracuse University THRU EBAY

There is so much more to Syracuse and Syracuse University than what we just see around campus or when we go downtown. There are alot of items being sold at e-bay like old pictures of SU and Syracuse City that are very interesting. People are selling old pictures of the women's gym, football and basketball tickets in the 1970's, pictures from the 1913's graduation photo and all sort of things that make the mind imagine how historical and rich SU is. Downtown Syracuse had seen better days but if you look at the old pictures of Syracuse downtown buildings being sold at E-bay, you will know that it had a very rich and historical beginnings.

Even if you do not want to buy anything, and maybe just look around ebay on topics anything under the sun, one can LEARN about a lot of things that a common library or even a museum cannot offer.

Enjoy poking around E-Bay!
