There are so many imitator or clone of etsy but nothing unique to original one. there no ecommerce website built like etsy, not even ebay, their features are creative, their idea are more community focused and their web design are more advance. I called them web 3.0 e-commerce, i wouldn’t be surprised if one day they will be bought by big company out there.

Arrington – you seriously have to ask aloud why someone would spit on you? – re-read your interview above (or have someone read it to you, whichever is easier).

don’t think you adopted the same tone when you interviewed Chris DeWolfe

Great for Etsy to have forged a business for themselves out of this. $100 million dollar trade? Good job.

Though we’re not exactly in the same area, we launched round about the same time and we have been successful on a lesser scale.

Yep, Etsy is indeed one of the few legit web 2.0 sites out there. It is going nowhere but up.

is that an interview or a transcript where a drunk interviewer is being a smartass on someone?

Etsy has amazing products from very talented people. I would suggest you look at the site before you pass judgement. Kudos to Etsy!

I’m very impressed with Etsy and what they’ve done. Most would have skipped over competing directly with eBay.

I’m probably following some 100+ people on Twitter who use Etsy as their primary store front.

Hand-made is definitely the way to go. My next suit? Bespoke, definitely

Jesus, Mike, I thought you were scaling back on the blogging because people were harassing _you_.
