The dotcom dinosaurs

Vic Keegan gives us a glimpse into the world of what comes next after the dotcom dinosaurs have ruled the planet for the last 20 years.

I don’t know whether wigix will be successful or, if it is, whether it will merely trigger a radical response from eBay. But it is unequivocally good news that companies are emerging to take on the dotcom dinosaurs. If wigix even partially succeeds, it will show others what can be done. Will Google, Yahoo and Microsoft be the next targets?

David vs. Goliath

To compete with eBay, wigix is doing something imaginative and maybe foolhardy. It is inviting anyone to put up products (even if they are not selling them) or just product categories not on its database, and in return they get 1% of the transactional profits from those products as long as they stay an active user.
