The Truth and only the Truth about Ebay

EBAY

Why is the Media neglecting Ebay's Stumbleupon?

Hello, has anyone out there reported lately on Ebay's Stumbleupon? For a site that has grown to over 4.5 million users from 2 million at the time of Ebay's acquision you think Stumbleupon would at the very least make a dent in the media. We hear news about Skype, Stubhub an occasional Shopping and Rent.com blurb. However never a whimper on Stumbleupon. Stumbleupon is a terrific toolbar that searches the web for your interests. You are able to discover marvelous sites that you never knew existed. When a site is presented the user can click a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Thus Stumbleupon will then retain that information and discover more sites conducive to the user's liking.User's on Stumbleupon are not only able to access websites but video sites. There is a people's tab which gives Stumblupon the potential to be similiar to Myspace and Facebook. Ebay is sitting on a potential goldmine, however has been slow to act. They can transfer Stumbleupon into a sort of Myspace or Facebook by adding Skype's voice chat to the site. Stumleupon can be an invaluable resource to Marketing firms. Marketing firms will be able to get a better gauge of an individual's tastes and preferences. Also, StumbleUpon can add a simple search box to also be able to search the web making it a one stop destination. Ebay seems to be behind the curve ball on implementing their startegies and are missing key points. They seem to have the building's in place but have yet to add the required wiring. Ebay I am available for consultation, and have more knowledge about Ebay and how to implement strategies than more than 75% of your employees. You listened to my suggestions on adding Yahoo and Googles's ads and taking advantage of outside advertising. It only took you three years after my persistent phone calls and e-mail suggestions. You almost listened to me when I suggested that you stop wasting 500 million in advertising to Google when it was money down the drain. However you then went back to Google. Why help your enemy I will never know. Are you currently listening?
