		<description>i run a blog and I don&#039;t want to crap it up with an ad and listing tag.  you would think a guy who lives in a web20 bubble (the tech crunch dude) would know a bad idea when he sees one. 

From what i understand this tech crunch dude looks at new sites and gives his opinion- i think. He gives advice too.  Yeaks!</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s say I make a listing on my blog, and tag it with all the necessary tags...I would still probably end up going to edgio just to check and see if it picked up my listing and how it displayed/ranked it, so I just don&#039;t see the point.  The way I see it, sellers will still end up going to edgio to check on their listings, so what is the point of making the listing on your blog when you&#039;re just gonna end up going to edgio anyway?  You might as well just go direct to edgio to make your listing in the first place, oh wait....that&#039;s how ebay/craigslist does it now.  Dang!</description>

		<description>I read every comment (I too mostly ignore trackbacks), and I have to say that Will [see quote below], in my opinion, cut through all the tech-babble and over-intellectualizing and told the truth about what Edgeio really is. It&#039;s a backwards entry into a wall-garden play based on an &quot;elite&quot; group of opt-in bloggers that want to sell stuff. Not that this is a bad thing, but it&#039;s certainly not introducing a disruptive technology/model that benefits bloggers in a way that is necessarily better than what they have available to them today. 

&lt;i&gt;&quot;will Says:
...the problem is that these solves will, ironically, reduces the value of the site because edgeio will be aggreagating from (or atleast give preference to) the â€œcoreâ€ (like Oodle) rather than the â€œedge.â€ In essense, Edgeio will become a walled garden with registered users, and highly verified users owning most of its inventory. . . and edge listings having a secondary placement that buyers are rarely exposed to.

		<description>[...] In this increasingly distributed world, websites need to become web services, spreading themselves right out to the edges of the network. In this case, the edge is largely made up of MySpace pages, social-networking sites and blogs. The widget, meanwhile, is the blog equivalent of the API - and the more you give away, the more you get back. (Incidentally, Scoble once referred to widgets as Internet Connected Components, raising some interesting discussions.) Flickr, YouTube, Stickam, del.icio.us, Revver and many more Web 2.0 players have successfully employed widgets to drive traffic back to their own sites. eBay and Amazon take the next step by incentivizing their widgets (you earn a % of any transaction). And finally there&#8217;s the widget to end all widgets: the indefatigable Google Adsense. Ultimately, I wonder whether we even need to drive traffic back to the originating site - it seems feasible to have all the interaction taking place within the widget itself (and in fact this already happens with Adsense). This is similar to Joseph Scott&#8217;s idea for API-only services, and you could argue that Stickam and Bunchball are getting pretty close. Nonetheless, you still need a centralized site where the user can create his widgets (or do you?). [...]</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[...] In this increasingly distributed world, websites need to become web services, spreading themselves right out to the edges of the network. In this case, the edge is largely made up of MySpace pages, social-networking sites and blogs. The widget, meanwhile, is the blog equivalent of the API &#8211; and the more you give away, the more you get back. (Incidentally, Scoble once referred to widgets as Internet Connected Components, raising some interesting discussions.) Flickr, YouTube, Stickam, del.icio.us, Revver and many more Web 2.0 players have successfully employed widgets to drive traffic back to their own sites. eBay and Amazon take the next step by incentivizing their widgets (you earn a % of any transaction). And finally there&#8217;s the widget to end all widgets: the indefatigable Google Adsense.

		<description>[...] But it is impossible to clamp down on such speech the distributed world, where I can post an ad on my blog and it can be found via Edgeio or Oodle or Google. Then who are you going to sue? The search engines for finding it? The enablers for providing the functionality to me? Or me for exercising free, albeit inappropriate, speech? The control is at the edges and it&#8217;s much harder to regulate the edges. [...]</description>

		<description>Suggestion: to increase the density, Edgio needs to integrate with other markets.

Make an import utility that allows a blogger to import their ad from Craigslist (and eBay) and re-post it on their blog with proper tags.  Judy&#039;s Book does something like this.

CL &amp; Edgio are not &quot;either/or&quot;.  Recognize the fact that most people will still use Craiglist and eBay, but make it as easy as possible for them to link their ad to their blog, and by extension, Edgio too.</description>

		<description>[...] Lâ€™idea Ã¨ veramente interessante, ma ho in ogni modo qualche dubbio riguardo alla sua diffusione. Penso che questo sistema possa essere limitato dallâ€™utenza stessa. Non tutti i navigatori hanno chiaro il funzionamento logico che esiste dietro ai tag e alle tecniche RSS. Purtroppo, la mentalitÃ  da â€œformularioâ€, Ã¨ molto forte negli utenti che utilizzano da anni Ebay o Craigslist, quindi passare da quel tipo di sistema a quello offerto da Edgeio puÃ² creare problemi alle persone abituate a lavorare con mezzi diffusi. Se questo problema sarÃ  superato, sono fermamente convinto del successo di Edgeio. Come approfondimento consiglio di leggere un post di Jeff Jarvis, commentato da Keith Teare (partner di Michael Arrington) e Craig Newmark. [...]</description>
