I’m not going to say Ina Steiner is full of crap, that would be unfair. According to the charts posted on her AB blog, eBay has been losing rank for unique visitor traffic in the U.S.A. She says Amazon is receiving more traffic and that Craig’s List (a company partially owned by eBay) is on track to surpass eBay as well.

Somehow she neglects to mention that on the global scale, eBay is still dominating both Amazon and Craig’s List (80 million vs 67 million and 59 million). eBay is actually growing and leaving Amazon and Craig’s List behind. In the last month CL actually went down 1.52%. Have a look at the chart below:

In the 21st century, global is much more relevant than national. To be fair, both Ina’s chart and the chart I took from Compete.com mean very little. The money is made from conversion of traffic, not from how many people click a link and then close it without buying anything. I’m not even sure why CL gets mentioned. People go there looking to find prostitutes or haggle for their neighbor’s lawnmower.

I would love to learn how many of eBay’s 80 million visitors actually made purchases. The same with Amazon’s 67 million. I would love to compare the percent of buyers versus bouncers. I’d love to look at the percentage of return visitors.

What is Japanese Suspense?

It’s that unimaginative vagueness you’ll see in anime, dorama and movies from Japan. The most common will usually be two people commenting about a third person. They will say something along the lines of, “Doesn’t he remind you of that person?” They say “that person” to hold you in suspense because if they revealed “that person”’s name to you at that stage of the movie, you would have a heart attack and die. Other times you’ll be watching an action scene and one character will suggest a secret move/technique and it will be referred to as “that technique.” For example: “Ryu, you’re getting your but kicked by Sakura! I think it’s time you unleash your TRUE power and use ‘that technique’ on her.” Once again, if you were to know the name of “that technique” 5 minutes before they reveal the name (you can be sure the user will give the name before or during use) you would die!

“That place” and “that time” are also frequently used. I love it! I certainly don’t want to die from the SHOKKU! Of having that whatever revealed to me too early…

I was browsing through some Moogle videos over on Google and stumbled onto Sephiroth battling a demon kitten.

Don’t have your own Sephiroth action figure? I’ve got him and many others in my eBay store.

This is what I’m currently pitching to Hollywood:
Caveman Dexter. Imagine a time before television, toilets, the Roman Empire or the great pyraminds. One Cro magnon will kill to satisfy a different kind of hunger!

Caveman Deb: “ughblak” (translates into F*ck)

“To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else’s. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is… Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it.”

That’s right folks. I grabbed my first parcel of internet turf back in 1998. For years I was tempted to snag more domains. There was a time when registrars were killing each other offering dirt cheap domain registration. For a time you could get 1 year of .com hosting for $5/domain. I think the going rate now is about $10/year.

I’ve got 20 domains listed for sale on eBay and here’s the list:

Browse My Current Offering

www.bankheists.com — I’m imagine this site full of stories about bank robberies, reviews of popular bank heist books and movies and lots of advertising.
www.beguz.com — beguz can’t be choozahz or Johnny beguz?
www.cssfu.com — your custom style sheets are no match for my hidden dragon technique!
www.edcoo.com
www.elewd.com — I’m not sure if this should be a porn site (e-lewd) or if it’s a site about how to elude the police with discount radar/laser detectors.
www.fixedcostads.com — awesome name for flat fees on advertising. Who wants to bid?
www.lawnelf.com — I’ve heard people refer to garden gnomes as lawn elves.
www.lviews.com — I’m thinking either an opinion site for lesbians, libertarians or lithuanians. Maybe it’s just pictures of the beautiful views of Louisiana.
www.noocu.com
www.nookza.com — this one just sounds fun.
www.oorge.com — Great name for an energy drink.
www.qwiva.com — this one gives me goosebumps. I might actually keep this one
www.soxmy.com
www.sufsu.com
www.sypee.com
www.uzhq.com — Uzi headquarters? Uther Zimmerman’s High Quality wares?
www.wiines.com — All Nintendo from the newest console the Wii, to the first console the NES. Or maybe it’s a good typo name for wines.com?
www.zwazu.com — Someone tell me why I’m envisioning a toucan as the mascot for Zwazu?
www.zykok.com — Definite a great name for an anti-depressant drug!
