I feel Ebay is capable of penetrate the market with such advertising, I would want to see Google get some competition too.

You know what … Good for eBay … someone has to give Google a squeeze somewhere … if Google keeps up at it’s current pace … the internet won’t be the internet any more … it will just be Google … “let me jump on the google and check my gmail … look at a few you tube videos … click on a few doubleclick ads for other google properties … and read my blogs that all feed through FeedBurner (a google company)”!

If eBay just creates the option … it will keep google on their toes …

I like when other companies step on Google’s toes every once in a while.

I’m not sure this is going to be a winner for eBay but if feels like so many other companies either try to mimic google (microsoft +yahoo) or simple roll over and play dead when they enter the sandbox.

maybe its just me (and I like google a lot) but I hate the megacorp monopoly vibe I been getting from google lately.

To clarify: Google bought dMarc for $102m in cash with performance incentives that could have pushed the sale to $1.2b. The founders left, the performance targets were not met and the sale of dMarc is estimated to be approximately $200m, $1b shy of the often reported amount.

Interesting times are ahead with eBay and Google competing for audio ads market share.

Whoah… ING Savings… for Businesses?…

So we just got venture capital right? And we’re looking into getting some CD’s so that we can make the most possible interest in the safest way possible while we don’t need the money. Then I run across this…

I have some experience with the folks at bid4spots and they have a very sound model and a good record of success. These folks have good radio industry contacts and that will be good leverage.

Looks like eBay is struggling with it’s core business growth rate slowing now…one evidence of this is the huge payouts they are giving affiliate marketers to sign anyone up who does not have an eBay account.

I’m not sure I buy this as a good way for eBay to compete with Google. I also don’t think Google will suceed in trying to fix the radio ad market.

eBay should be eBay, don’t try to compete with Google on their terms.

Does Ebay have so much cash on hand the SEC wants to call them a bank?

- I don’t think so … (Google does)

- The only reason they can compete is maybe becuase they are starting around the same time …

- Cash on hand + More PHD’s + being Google not Ebay

= Google wins this one
