Ebay Auctions Taskforce - eBay and Stubleupon - Podcast #17

eBay recently purchased Stumbleupon.com. The purchase price is
reportedly $75 million. Adding StumbleUpon to other Ebay offerings
like PayPal and Skype could greatly impact how surfers use these
platforms. From 2006 to 2007, StumbleUpon showed 150% Year over
Year growth. The platform engages users by allowing them to
recommend online content. The more recommendations, the higher a
website's content will rank in the listings. Users can also rank
ads on the websites, giving advertisers an idea of how their ads
appeal to the masses. The site boasts nearly 2.3 million users and
5 million daily recommendations. "We think that joining eBay is the
right thing to do to help us to grow StumbleUpon to its full
potential. We think eBay is a great fit for us because eBay and
StumbleUpon share similar approaches – we’re both driven by our
community of users, and we are both dedicated to connecting
people," mentioned the StumbleUpon blog. Tim Knox and Scott Paton
discuss how this could impact your eBay sales. eBay has 100's of
millions of buyers and sellers. Are you taking full advantage of
