You can already do that with a widget. See my MySpace profile and you'll see an example: www.myspace.com/buzzpal. Click to open the widget panel and there you have my eBay listings. I don't like being forced to use a "widget panel" but it should be easy enough to write a piece of code to make a free-standing eBay widget. Can't you make a widget out of anything/everything these days. Just about. I mean, you can milk anything with nipples. Cheers! -chrisco PS: I’ll be taking down that “widget panel” soon… just put it up there to show the eBay widget.

Every company interested in online advertising, buying or selling, has to go through Google if they want to be relevant. Hate to say it, but Google is fast becoming the Microsoft of this generation in terms of dominance and importance in every facet of our online existence; luckily its leaders are, it this point anyway, far more interested in playing nice than Bill Gates ever was. Even though they don't have to. I think Google drives the drives the bus on any matters related to online ads – they can tell Fox the deal, take it or leave it (I don’t think they will though).
