We’re Home from ebayLive 2008.. and alive….

Wow… what an event! Small crowds, ebay employees standing around talking among themselves not to the attendees( no one to talk to), Tight and I do mean tight uniformed security along with eBay’s t-shirt security at one time I counted 27 security type people from our broadcasting table to the front doors I thought that was a bit much, but considering that when Dave and I went to set up our equipment the uniformed guys would not let us into the exhibit hall without an eBay employee escort hummm….I was not present when the youtube video was made it was talked about on the floor abit..kept hushed up, it seemed. Did see a women with a wrapped up baby doll with a bums mask like the type at Halloween she told me it was the CEO of ebay cigar and all, funny… Heard of a guy who didn’t have kind words for eBay and was over heard by an ebay employee and was not allowed in to the key note speech and escorted away which by the way was a rah,rah, speech for what seemed to me Mr. Donohoe’s family and children which were in the front seats. I do think that there was some good there they handed out special awards to 5 people which have made a difference in the world some way…There were some nice after the show party’s one by alibaba.com at a very plush restaurant, frooition.com which by the way is from England held there’s in an English pub and the accents were way cool and right on…The people I met from all over the world that was great !  for that I think it was worth it. I know that the one thing that seem to me to be on everyone mind was… where do we go and what do we do…. well they now know there’s another place to look… onlineauction.com  yes we told them all, gave them cards, stickers and lots of advise.. ola is the way.. so hold on I know we got the word out.. I know I’ll remember something later and have more to say but make sure you look at Dave’s, Scott Pooler’s, Randy Smythe’s, Chris Dawson’s and Richard Brewer-Hay’s Blog to name a few that will have more and a different veiw from eBay Live 2008…also were putting the past 12 hour more or less in the archives for you to listen to from the floor of the show.. some great interview’s and funny moments.. so don’t miss a moment and this past regular Saturday’s show will be on the 24 hr loop as well.

Thanks again for your support……
