eBay Express goes live

eBay finally launched eBay Express last night. It is clean and simple. I like it much better than the old eBay because the search process seems so easy.

Having said that, the proof will be in the pudding.  We will be watching this very closely, and I will be getting feedback from buySAFE's customers over the coming week and months.

Google launches Google Calendar

Well we talked about this back in December, and it has finally happened. Google launched Google Calendar last week. I like it, and I suspect it will gain nice traction. I have used Yahoo's calendar for a couple of years now, but I have always struggled with the "sharing" functionality. Google's sharing functionality seems to work flawlessly...so far. This is my favorite part of the product.

Check it out when you get a chance.

Google announces launch of Google Romance

Google has done it again. I always enjoy their annual April Fool's jokes, and this one is pretty creative.

This year, Google announced the launch of Google Romance. The Solumate Search and Contextual Dating options sound impressive. :)

Anyone remember Google Gulp in 2005?

In 2004, Google began hiring for lunar engineers for the Google Copernicus Center.

In 2002, Google announced the real secret behind their fabulous search technology, Google PigeonRank.

In 2000, launched the Google MentalPlex.

They sure do have fun over there. A belated April Fool's Day to all.

Nice PR. I'll take it.

The Northern Virginia Technology Council and Bisnow on Business partner together to publish a terrific weekly email newsletter that includes interviews with Washington's top entrepreneurs. Well, I was lucky enough to be included this week, and I thought I would share. You can visit Bisnow.com to read the interview. I want to thank Mark Bisnow and Tania Anderson for asking me to participate.
