Yahoo, eBay form far-reaching alliance - Yahoo! News

Yahoo, eBay form far-reaching alliance - Yahoo! News

It's official. Yahoo! and eBay have entered a formal partnership to promote each others' services in an attempt to compete with Google. It looks like the Internet is well along the path of mergers & acquisitions and that we may indeed see a merger between some of the largest and most successful Internet companies.

What do you think? Is a high profile merger between the major Internet players just a matter of time? Will this trend make the Internet better or worse? Does anyone stand a chance against Google over the long haul?

Welcome to the gumshoo Blog

We thought it was high time gumshoo had its own blog. After all, over 100,000 eBay auctions have been scanned for a variety of risk factors since we started this whole thing about 8 months ago. This blog will feature news and comment from the gumshoo staff. Topics may include new features, gumshoo best practices, future plans, eBay buyer and seller tips and anything else that pops into our heads. We'll also post system status messages here as needed (hopefully, not very often).

We know that good communication is a two-way street and we hope you'll participate as well by sending us your comments and suggestions. After all, you are a big part of what makes gumshoo a success!
