One very popular session on Thursday was the Jerry Greenfield (of Ben n Jerrys Ice Cream fame) talk about "Social Responsibility, Radical Business Philosophy ( and Free Ice Cream). " "Wouldnt it be good to run a business and feel good about it?" was how eBay seller Kathleen Schade (knb_subbly) summed up the session. "You dont have to worship the almighty dollar," added Robert Wallace, whose wife, Jeanne, sells as "jeanzbeanz" on eBay. Greenfield also talked about starting the business and initially getting turned down by banks. auctionbytes.com
The eBay Live conference guide shows pages and pages of information about all the classes, lectures and networking sessions going on, and sometimes it seems overwhelming. There is certainly no lack of content at eBay Live, and often times the challenge is choosing between two classes you want to attend at the same time.

The company also is making strides to tighten payment rules, including policing excessive shipping charges and raising verification requirements for merchants who want to sell internationally. Payment for goods sold on eBay is one of the biggest concerns regular users of the company have and eBay has created a sister company, PayPal, in 1998 that enables businesses with e-mail addresses to receive payments online securely by using a bank account, credit card or stored balance in transactions. www.inbusinesslasvegas.com

2006-06-15 Cooking up a startup
|
|
|
Most basement biotechies will likely spend far more time simulating the behavior of the gene sequences they dream up on a computer than cooking them up in a home laboratory. For this, you only need a powerful workstation. But the software for such work is still crude; Bio-Spice, a popular open-source biosimulation program, doesnt cut it, in my opinion. Business 2. 0 reports that homegrown labs could soon be a source of new lifesaving discoveries -- and riches for those who can make them on the cheap. money.cnn.com
Everyone thinks they know whats involved in creating a new drug: usd. 800 million in R and D, followed by a 10-year machete march through the thickets of FDA regulations. That daunting prospect is hardly the thing to get an entrepreneurs heart pumping.

Many of our retailers are giving us feedback that by putting a shipping kiosk in a retail environment, they can use that as an attraction for foot traffic and get greater loyalty by creating a convenient experience, particularly for the small office or home-office business," Webster said. Mike Webster, vice president and general manager for self-service with NCR?s Retail Solutions Division, cited as one spark for the idea the plethora of new business models created by eBay and its facilitation of global, person-to-person movement of goods. www.kioskmarketplace.com

Although Buckmaster may not have a corporate style, his company has a big corporate investor in eBay. The San Jose online marketplace bought a 25 percent stake two years ago from a Craigslist shareholder for an undisclosed sum, as part of an effort to learn more about the business. So far, eBay hasnt tried to influence Craigslist, other than to offer tips about combatting offshore scammers, Buckmaster said. He added that eBays Kijiji doesnt conflict much with Craigslist because its sites are outside the United States, where Craigslist has a relatively small number of users. www.kitsapsun.com

DIRECT SOIR LAUNCHES IN PARIS: French commuters got a sight of the latest free-sheet newspaper last Tuesday with the debut of Direct Soir, an evening paper from Breton businessman Vincent Bollore. The 28-page paper is a low-cost spin-off of the digital terrestrial TV channel, Direct 8, which Bollore launched last year with help from his media adviser Philippe Labro, the Anglophile journalist, writer and film-maker. The web finished second behind TV for at-home reach. But the study also revealed a disconnect between advertising dollars spent online and the amount of time consumers spend on the web. In this study the internet accounted for 17 percent of the average persons media consumption, but advertisers only dedicated 8 percent of their media spend to online. www.tmcnet.com
