Google to launch eBay alternative

You’ve probably heard of Google, the company that has established itself as the best search engine in the world. The company has been so successful that the company has started its own e-mail, discount merchandise site and more. Now, Google is getting into the online auction industry. That’s right; Google is working on a free alternative to eBay. Word leaked out recently that Google is testing a free seller’s service that will compete with eBay and its partially owned company, craigslist.org. The company would be called Google Base. The company is also creating a payment service that would compete with PayPal. We’ll keep you posted on this.
Along those lines, Skype – the free phone calling service – is growing by leaps and bounds. A million new customers are signing up every 6 days. It took Vonage about four years to get 1 million customers. So, there is so much content for free on the Internet and so many alternatives. Clark thinks every one of these innovations is going to be hugely successful.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
