eBay Integrates Blogs
eBay is preparing a blog integration that looks like it will be very helpful to searcher and store owner.
By launching blogs and wikis, eBay is taking a big step to push into the social commerce arena.
Conversation drives commerce so integrating blogs, wikis and tags into
the eBay toolkit is a natural extension to their core platform, which
has long included discussion boards. I would not be surprised to see
the company take this a step further and build eBay into a giant social
network that lets like-minded buyers and sellers find each other.

According to Steve, the auction company will offer RSS feeds of the blogs, will use search tags to help blog publishers increase their search visibility (within eBay listings) and will integrate Skype and a Wiki into the whole process.
