Why Does eBay Want StumbleUpon? To Promote Its Auctions
At first it didn't quite make sense to me why eBay would want to acquire StumbleUpon. eBay does auctions and sales. StumbleUpon does random entertainment. At least, that's the way I used the two sites. But then, of course, I remembered that StumbleUpon is basically just a huge database full of associated interests. It's kinda like Amazon. People who liked X also liked Y. Deploy that technology on eBay, and suddenly your users find all sorts of stuff for sale they never knew about. I imagine somewhere inside eBay there's a chart showing that a huge percentage of their site is basically untrafficked. StumbleUpon, if deployed correctly, would help. .
GENE SIMMONS Says He Was Blown Away By Success Of Dinner Auction ...
A&E network has announced its "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" charity auction raised a notable $76,770 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Fans and supporters alike flocked to the auction from March 25 to April 4 to bid on a dinner with Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed, stars of the hit A&E television series "Gene Simmons Family Jewels" — making it the most watched item on eBay for the duration of the auction.
The auctioned VIP dinner drew over 200,000 unique visitors during the duration of the online auction. The winning bid of $75,100 was placed by Richard Craven of the U.K., who will enjoy a weekend of rock star treatment with three guests in Los Angeles. The package includes round trip air fare, two nights stay in deluxe accommodations, and the main attraction — an exclusive dinner with Gene and Shannon.
Poor stadiums and England bid can yet scupper Brazil
BRAZIL has won five soccer World Cup titles and exports hundreds of players to leagues around the world but has hosted only one World Cup tournament (in 1950, losing in the final to Uruguay). If statements from FIFA headquarters in Zurich are credible, it will be awarded the 2014 World Cup this year probably. "The concept of Brazil, or someone else from South America, is not a problem," Chuck Blazer, the only American member of FIFA's powerful executive committee and the general secretary of CONCACAF, said this week. CONCACAF, based in Manhattan, represents 40 national associations in North and Central America and the Caribbean. "One of the reasons the World Cup has grown has been the level of competition in the bidding," Blazer said.
