Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
Scott Guilfoyle, PayPal’s senior vice president of platform services, is reporting a pretty significant but seemingly easily fixable bug on the PayPal blog this afternoon.

Keep Your Finger on the “eBay Pulse”
Friday, September 12th, 2008
Earlier this morning there was a very brief post made by Dennis Goedegebuure to the announcement board that teased an all-new eBay Pulse.

And so ends eBay DevCon08…
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008
As the sun sets on this year’s eBay Developer’s Conference I need to splash some water on my face and get ready for eBay Live! staff orientation this evening.
I found the last couple of days incredibly informative and invigorating to be honest. Each conversation uncovered another layer of possibility for eBay users. For example, [...]
“Social Media Veteran”…
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008
… Stop laughing.
In February, I was introduced in Fortune Small Business as a “social media veteran”, which brought chuckles to pretty much everyone I know, myself included.
