I've sent him a tweet and email to see if there's any rescue attempt. In other news, http://micro.ilist.com appears to be taking this spot. Pretty well done (not too dissimilar to TweeBay). Paul is still hard at it. His LinkedIn shows ScreenReach and 2 other projects still happening: http://www.linkedin.com/in/screenreach It looks like Paul has shuttered the original TweeBay.com service.

When members see items they want to purchase they need to have the ability to do it. Users should also have the ability to know when their friends are selling items; and they should also have the ability to resell their friends items. adelph.us has this now because we thought about ways that we could help our members make and save money before we began to build our application.

This is the sort of rapid-development that has true commercial potential, and definite scale. We own and are in development of handful of revenue-making web sites in the social media and ecommerce arenas. If you'd like to develop this out further, please connect and let me know. With a little tweaking I believe you have a shot at a decent business play. Best to you, Mark Alan Effinger www.ExitPath.com Nice work, Paul.

It would be ashame to see this grow, just to have to change the name. I don't necessarily agree with eBay's approach and aggressiveness with domains containing their name. It's just a fact that should this become very popular, you will be on their radar and be ordered to stop using the domain. Change the name and you will have a solid site!
