eBay.com Gives the “Green Light” To a New Weekly Podcast
Pin ItAfter years of only 1 radio podcast with the Dean of eBay Education, eBay’s Griff, it looks like eBay will roll out a 2nd podcast to air weekly with Richard Brewer-Hay hosting his own show. While the details have not yet been announced, Richard Brewer-Hay told RRB Radio that plans for his new show are coming up. I think this will be very interesting move…why? Well lets look at the culture of the web community and social media. Back in the part of last decade podcasting was such a rave, it was new medium hitting the scene and many early adopters got in and rode this wave to...

Pin ItSo here is the ColderICE video as we were given behind the scenes access thanks to RBH and eBay Ink Blog. This first kick off of eBay On Location held in Atlanta last weekend was fantastic! Check this out for interviews with the CEO and the President also some other great spots. Here is what is really crazy … when I first heard about this I wrote this blog post back on July 14 of 2009 and it is amazing how "spot-on" this commentary ended up being…. "Being smaller would possibly allow more input from ALL sized sellers, not just those in Diamond or...

Suddenly a tweet pops up from a friend and says: Then a few minutes later here comes another reTweet from my buddy Cliff, who by the way, has been a guest blogger her on ColderICE.com chimed in: So what the hell?

Pin It Well, it has been just a couple of days since the an eBay bidder from Japan won the Marilyn Monroe burial plot for $4.6 million. And now that bidder has backed OUT! Beverly Hills widow Elsie Poncher, whose dead husband was laid to rest in the crypt directly above Monroe, put her beloved’s valuable vault on the block Aug. 14 to help pay off the $1.6 million mortgage on her home. Bidding started at $500,000 and shot to $4.6 million in three days. Everything seemed to be going so well, until the widow’s rep sent an invoice to the winning bidder Monday. "I am awfully...

Pin ItRecently I was tapped for a comment on a "speculation" that eBay was doing away with its Voices program. For many years eBay has had a focus group program internally called the Voices of the Community. It is an ancient program created back in the 1990′s so eBay and its seller base could communicate. Most of the members are… how you say this delicately? OLD! Not like Moses old, but kind of just old school LMAO. The story was picked up and put into an Auctionbytes blog and titled "eBay Silences Founding Voices Members". Seems eBay decided to turn over some...

Pin ItI am digging this video from Richard Brewer-Hay who is the top corporate blogger for eBay.com. He is by far the coolest dude in the organization (I got video to back that up ) and he is very savvy when it comes to social media. Richard is trailblazing the trends for corporate blogging and he is doing things and going where NO ONE has gone before at eBay. His influence on the way information is being handled at eBay is SIGNIFICANT! He is helping a once "ivory tower" organizational policy for communication, transform to a more open and inviting place. Sure, it will take time...
read moreeBay Ink Blogger Richard Brewer Hay: Challenging Himself and “The Powers that Be”?
Pin ItWorking for eBay as the voice to the public has got to be hard. The balance of work and personal gets VERY blurred when you are a blogger. Once you put something out in your blog, you set yourself up as a target. Good, bad or indifferent, the comments about what you do are a free-for-all. Richard Brewer Hay came on the eBay train weeks and maybe days before the new regime changed. Nearly a year ago, Richard unknowing walked into a bees nest without even a clue. Before he typed his first story, there was ALREADY controversy brewing. And that was BEFORE any of the changes from 2008....

Pin ItMaybe it is just me? It will not be the first time I was wrong. I have been wrong about many things. I do not think one can even be an entrepreneur without some prior mistakes or wrong turns. Somewhere, some how we all need a hand up. We all need guidance and support at times. A resource to turn to when we need some help. Who could be the light for me when the world is dark and cold? Is there a friend at eBay that can aid and assist me to greatness? An “Insider” to help navigate the challenges ahead? Ummmm….Yeah…..This ain’t it honey, this is a HOT...
