I don't believe real time is very hard. Something that ebay can' already do. And if they can't already do it, how will hunch come in and solve it. It would probably require major changes to db's etc if that is why ebay can't already do it.

Very hard to imagine ebay doesn't already do a good job of this with their years of experience. I mean it's possible, but I doubt it.

Make them do some other type of gov't job. Post office, making roads, whatever. Paying them to sit on their butts - no thanks.

Yah - even if they get to 3.5bn it's a tiny business for taking so much risk. They need to re-think their (pricing) model.

Well, they could have done a multivariate test if there was enough traffic to make it statistically significant and tested all combos, like GWO allows.

Maybe the issue is barely anyone uses it? I'm guessing Foundry Group organized the acquisition between companies so SimpleGeo wouldn't totally fail and were unwilling to do another round.

facebook ads don't convert into buyers - adwords ads do - that's why it cost more. if you do the proper research, set up your campaigns and ad groups correctly, add negative keywords, adwords can work really well. you need to play their qua

Who gets this $ that's being printed non stop? Banks - who in turn don't lend shit? Why not give tax incentives for hiring people or something and help out small businesses.

I strongly disagree - Apple could never do wrong in his eyes - he is way too biased.

It's not - FTC won't allow it. Maybe they're saying this to drive up the bidding price?

Agree - google's UI is 1000X more pleasant on the eyes, DDG made me dizzy and hard to distinguish between each result, especially with their infinite scroll.

I quickly used DDG for the first time for some searches and you guys place WAY too much emphasis on exact query match domains. Also, including .com.au addresses in a local search when I'm in the US is probably not a lot of help. Best of luc
