Ebay and Rss
by Nathan on Oct.28, 2005
OK here is the deal, i was just on eBay looking around, and I found this dude selling a lot of the same type of items. So I thought “self wouldn’t it be nice if eBay had a buddies list, then I could add them as a buddy” You know something like that. I know buddies sounds a little dumb for shopping, but dam what a nice feature. So I got to looking around some more and wouldn’t you know I found an option like that. Wow I thought, this is great, now I will just add this dude to my rss feeds and Bam!! I will know when he is selling something new. Look down at the bottom of Firefox and what do I see……NOTHING….this mean there is not an rss feed. I thought to my self, from a company that just spent millions to by Skype they don’t have rss. What the Hell. So then it struck me, digg.com has rss for search result as well as friends, does eBay. The answer is NO A google search pulls up some interesting 3rd party programs that will do this. But come on eBay, move into the Web 2.0 era <–I guess thats what people are calling it.
p.s. Google it would be nice for some rss from you too.
