eBay Hops Aboard The RSS Train
June 7th, 2004From the article in Internet News:
“Senior manager of developer relations at eBay, Jeffrey McManus, announced the RSS rollout on his weblog and said the feeds would be used to push special offers, promotions and system status messages via RSS. “[There are] highly recommended if you use a Weblog reader and are the least bit serious about using eBay,” McManus said.”
“The RSS feeds, which appear to be targeting the hardcore eBay buyer and shopper, are available here: General Announcements and System Announcements.”
I’m assuming that they will have specified, personalized keyword searches available via RSS pretty soon. These announcements are nice, but not exactly what I would want if I were a hardcare E-bay user (which I’m not). In the meantime, there are always the third-parties who do this.
