EBay Drops Charges for Developers Network
Rob writes "Seeking to make its presence in third-party rebranded commerce applications more ubiquitous, eBay Inc is lifting all of its API and transaction charges for developers. It's the latest action a series of moves to expand the eBay developer community. Last summer, the company opened up a collaborative website, the eBay Community Codebase, to provide a hosted project developer site for anyone willing to open source their code."
My custom solution worked fine, but nothing near as streamlined as it could have been using their API... too little too late eBay, you're allready on a downward spiral IMHO, and this won't save you from the fall. Oh well, at least I still have a box full of sexy outfits and vibrators in my closet somewhere gathering dust... someday I'll find a way to lure that sexy woman on the corner into my house and use them, but until then Mom will just have to stay on the corner.
Don't anthropomorphize computers: they hate that.
I think this is a wonderful opportunity for some innovative but underfunded folks to develop cool apps to "enhance" my moneymaking schemes. I may start by developing a mechanism to auction off "first post rights" on specific slashdot articles.
I, for one, welcome our new ebay developer overlords.
Busy aligning my non-linear thoughts.
Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!
Oh, wait...
Was I the only one who read the headline and then tried to recall who EBay was sueing?
I currently have no clever signature witicism to add here.
