Finally, The Internet As Intended.

I cant believe that yesterday eBay launched eBay Wiki, and I didn’t know about it before my I gave my talk this morning at the Gilbane Content Management in Government conference in Washington DC about Blogs, Wikis, and RSS. The service lets any registered eBay user post an article about any relevant eBay topic. The wiki is already looks like a very useful resource for eBay’ers, and I have know doubt the enthusiastic eBay community will keep it that way. The site is powered by Joe Kraus’s JotSpot.

eBay has always been a stellar example of baking the power of your network right in to your product. Now that eBay has rolled out tag-based item browsing, a community support wiki, blogs (I’m not seeing the value here for eBay as clearly however), and is testing Skype integration - they are moving just as fast as the other big boys embracing the web2.0 wave.
