yes.. whats coming down the pike for certain is that we will have 4 players involved in ALL internet activity.....this includes all types of the buying and selling needs of people from shopping from websites to auction mode to swap mode... also email.... search engines.... every single thing involved with the internet...
yahoo.. msn... google and looks like AOL has woke up to go in this TOO.... google has the best search engine BUT google does have competition in this with yahoo and msn.. its not like ebay with no competition.. we as sellers need to not ONLY use googles searcxh engine but also yahoo's and msn.. because they do 8-12% of the business in the online searching....yahoo is ahead of these 4 with the email stuff.... these 4 all are ahead in certain things than the other... BUT now it looks like all 4 is gonna go and have it all.... yahoo is cloesest of these 4 to having it all right now....yahoo looks like will be buying ebay for their auction mode of selling... an auction mode is needed in each of these 4 companys internet platforms....just like a search engine is needed in each one... just like shopping thru their search engine with websites...i also see a need for a swap site... each will have one of these.... also each will have an online payment system...the way wagglepop is looking right now they could be bought by one of these and with big money make it just as good as ebay....also each system will have personals dating stuff and also chat rooms.. a complete internet platform.. and all this will be fantastic for sellers and buyers... like right now the only profit is coming from ebay... later each seller will get profits from EACH of these 4... the only problem is how americas govt has ignored teddy roosevelts monopoly laws and may make all this profits for sellers and buyers be gone ina flash with all four merging as one...we have to work on our govt. too if we want to get anything from the internet and our work.... the robber barons always works around when the people are progressing and making more they work around with the help of the bought off govt.. to bring this increase to the people to THEM and then the people are back again in slavery misery...
