A man after my own heart… or… why I now love Scot Wingo
OK… I know anyone new looking at my blog is going to automatically write off what I have to say after this but I was reading Scot Wingo’s blog in my feed reader and saw this comment.
It was an honor to have eBay’s new blogger, Richard Brewer-hay, cover Stephanie’s talk in the first days of the new eBay Ink blog - Richard welcome to the conversation (FYI this blogging stuff works from NC as well as San Jose! and ChannelAdvisor is one word.)
A man after my own heart. We spend so much time building brands and people who are supposed to know the space (well, this guy does have a job at eBay now and eBay owns a piece of CA) don’t bother getting the small things right.
Why am I so focused on this? After eBay acquired FairMarket I worked for eBay from 9/4/2003 to 12/31/2007 and still I had people ask me, “We bought FreeMarkets?” Sigh. “No. eBay bought FairMarket and we’ve been here making money for you for 4 years.”
Anyway… maybe this is a sign that the blogger dude is really uncensored and free to say what he wants! Yeah… we’ll see but I doubt it. eBay does not have a culture of questioning anything from the top down. Actually… from the middle down is pretty sacred too. The joy of being a resource!
PS- why isn’t this blog on an eBay domain? Stupid miss in terms of SEO value.
