The biggest is probably an eBay for services and rentals. Basically non-goods.
This includes renting your neighbours lawnmower or drill, through to renting a holiday apartment, or a floor for a night and was envisioned to be heavily integrated into a calendaring and scheduling solution.
I pretty much went into detail of scenarios like the floor space swapping (AirBNB now is very close to what I had described), went into detail on renting apartments around events (think along the line of apartments in London during the Olympics). I also researched and thought about how this same system could be used by small businesses, for example how you could bid for a slot with a famous hairdresser and the auction market would set the rate... so a skilled person in great demand would earn more than normal rates.
