Edgeio Experiment
I have been thinking for a while now that Michael Arrington has the perfect marketing platform for his own startup with the explosive popularity of his relatively young blog, TechCrunch. Well... that time has come with the launch of EdgeIO a few weeks ago. The point of this site is to aggregate sales listings that people post on their own blog. It will be interesting to see if this concept takes off.
My next post will be a test case where I'll post a listing on this blog to sell some books. I got the C#/.Net MCAD certification about three years ago because it was a requirement for some C# classes that I was teaching at the time. I am going to sell the set of books that I used to study with. The are a bit dated but someone may want to pony up $15 for the set.
Since this is all just an experiement I'll probably post a listing on Microsoft's new classified site as well. It is interesting to see all the traction in this space. I remember years ago when Yahoo and Amazon tried to dethrone eBay with their auction sites and were easily rebuffed. It will be interesting if some of these new approaches will make any inroads on to eBay's turf.
