Some Needed Clarification
Monday, September 8th, 2008
Over the weekend, AuctionBytes.com ran a story under the headline: “eBay’s Operation Catalog Flies under the Radar”. It generated a number of responses (at last count 89 comments) and I received a few emails from folks asking about the validity of the post.
Even though I knew the meat of the post was primarily speculative and, [...]
Notes from the Road: Ich bin ein Berliner…
Monday, August 25th, 2008
… Well, for a few days at least. I arrived in Berlin late last night and have just finished my first day here at the German offices of eBay.
Today was a day of meeting and greeting with different folks; putting names to faces, etc. I plan on presenting the eBay Ink overview again tomorrow [...]
Notes from the road: Richmond office - Day 1
Monday, August 18th, 2008
Whenever I travel to England on business I always love the first day of arrival. When I come back for personal reasons, I usually have my family with me so I find myself annoyingly (to my wife; not to me) repeating myself; “oh, I haven’t had this in years…” or “this is where Daddy went [...]

Presentation Alternative
Friday, July 18th, 2008
All,

Please let me know in the comments if this one is posing problems for you or not. Really want [...]
Blog Search
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
All,
I’ve received a few comments and emails regarding the search functionality of Ink. As some of you know, we use WordPress as the platform for eBay Ink and the search tool within WordPress is set up to search Post Title and Post Body. It’s my understanding that the search in its current configuration just [...]
John Donahoe talks to eBay Ink
Friday, April 18th, 2008
Two weeks ago, John and Pierre conducted a live webcast to the entire organization that emphasized a need for open communication and what can only be described as bold steps for the company (I’m working on getting video excerpts of the conversation to share with Ink subscribers soon).
Before they sat down together, I was able [...]
The First 24 Hours
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
Well, it’s been roughly 24 hours since the above photo was taken and we went live and I think my April calendar of blog topics just wrote itself based on the 62 comments received so far. With the exception of editing one sentence in one comment and deleting another comment for profanity, we’ve really kicked [...]

… to yet another corporate blog.
Last month an interview ran on FORTUNE Small Business online that captured a discussion I had with beat reporter Brandi Stewart regarding the launch of the new eBay corporate blog you are now reading. In it, I emphasized my goal to be as honest and open as possible - and [...]
Can an employee really be transparent?
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008
I acknowledge that it’s definitely a fine line to walk but one that will only guarantee progress and to be blunt, I think the answer lies with all of us. Not just me. It is in everyone’s best interest – authors and audience alike - to remain honest, transparent and authentic as we contribute to [...]
