eBay Hires Technologies President
from the long-way-to-go dept
Doesn't exactly seem like the magic solution, but eBay has gone out and stolen an executive from Gateway to be their eBay Technologies President. This is not a CTO or a CIO, because they've already got one of each. But now both of those guys report to the new guy. Got it? It sounds as though this guy has been brought in to make shareholders a little more comfortable that they're doing something. Well, let's see if eBay can stay working for more than 72 consecutive hours.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
