DISQUS

this is a joke what edgeio is doing. I understand why Sequoa and others smart VCs never invested there money in.

Ok OK its fine to aggregate ads on one page but you dont owe the users. Instead you place some adds and earn money. Where is a innovative service here...

Web 2.0 stop using that word, it doesnt exist. Youtube was not web 2.0 it fulfilled the need making sure that average users spend 10 mins gootubing!

I'm on the road today but wanted to congratulate Keith Teare and Mike Arrington. In early 2005 Keith founded the company with Mike in the garage at his house in Palo Alto.

Congrats guys.

why is everyone so down on Edgeio? I have used the site and while it is super slow, I found it useful. It should only get more useful as it's audience and membership grows. Matt, you refer to the idea as audacious and i'm not quite sure why... CL is obviously succesful and new companies will try to do whatever it takes to compete against them and other leaders in any market. Some companies do it via price and others get creative or try to...

John R, while you may feel 'smart money' didn't invest, let me assure you that not every investment by Sequoia is a 100 bagger and Intel, ebay, amazon and cafepress appear to see some value in investing and partnering which certainly gives some cred to their model/strategy.

FWIW, CL has a finite # of markets it serves while Edgeio doesn't have to create unique sites at all, it appears to be done on the based on the users selected inputs.

Having said that, hopefully they'll use some of the money they raised to beef up the infrastrucutre because it is really slow.....

"Catch the Bug"
CozyBug.com brings buyers and sellers together in a local online market for the purpose of conducting locally owned and advertised, safe, shipping-free transactions. Cozybug.com was specifically created to address the challenges produced in the online sale and purchase of items that are large, heavy, expensive and difficult to ship over long distances such as furniture, appliances, used vehicles such as cars, boats and bicycles; it is also ideal and solves the problem for shoppers that prefer to examine an item in person locally in addition to viewing it online.

Sellers with many items to sell can create their own personal storefront, and have the option to advertise their storefronts throughout the site, an ideal feature for antique stores, second-hand furniture stores, local car dealerships or flea market vendors looking to increase local foot traffic.

eBay not enough? Here comes CozyBug
Wednesday, May 23 2007 | Puget Sound tech news | Permalink
Hard to believe that there's room in the online flea market business for another vendor other than the megalithic eBay, but Issaquah-based iCantu Technologies launched CozyBug earlier this month. It's differentiation is that it localizes online shopping to eliminate shipping charges – kind of a mashup of the "for sale" category on Craigslist within a more trusted setting. It'll be interesting to see how the company plans to get buyers and sellers to utilize this site – it'll be critical to its success.
