If you’re into technology and gadgets you almost have to be into eBay as well. How else would you get rid of that older gear that you had to have at the time, that isn’t as cool anymore?
eBay is my favorite site for not only cleaning out my basement and garage, but it’s also a site that I use to find good deals on new gear. So anything I can do to make that experience go faster or better, I’m all for it. eBay Desktop lets you create your own eBay environment to track the items that you’re interested in. You can do searches, place bids and have it continously update while you are connected all without ever touching your web browser.
eBay decided to use Adobe’s Integrated Runtime (AIR) technology which allows anyone to create rich internet applications that are cross platform and stand alone.
"We wanted for a long time to create a desktop presence. Previously, our team agreed it was too expensive and couldn’t be done. Then along came Adobe AIR."
– Alan Lewis, Product Manager, eBay Desktop
AIR lets developers leverage HTML, CSS, AJAX, Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex technologies.

“Ged rid of?” The words individually make sense, but they make no sense to me in this context.
today’s the 13th.. this post was on the 2nd of Oct.
Did I lose the connection or are we out of the blog buisiness here.?
each day I don’t get something from a blog I move it down on the list of blogs I check, this one is one I like but is now at the bottom of the list of “producing” blogs.
time to move up on the ladder again.
Hi Mike,
I’ll have more soon. 🙂
great.. look forward to just about everything you blog. Was hating the thought of you falling off my radar!
Scott can only carry so much of the load!
