Sat, 17 Jun 2006 14:19:10 +0000 http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20050912/2362/#comment-185005 [...] If eBay AdContext is going to use CJ then that’s pretty much a dealbreaker for our company. eBay is big enough to do their own affiliate program, why would they be farming this out to CJ? I don’t get it. eBay will (over)pay billions for Skype and yet won’t design, build and implement their own affiliate program? [...] […] If eBay AdContext is going to use CJ then that’s pretty much a dealbreaker for our company. eBay is big enough to do their own affiliate program, why would they be farming this out to CJ?

They could have worked on APIs and entered into a customer agreement indeed, but perhaps they are more interested in the customer base (50+ million) users so they can marke to them. I don't think 50 million customers is worth 2.6 billion in light of Google Talk being in the same space, but that's just my opinion. Will be interesting to see where we are at a year from now. skumora - that’s a good question.

If they loved the technology so much couldn't they have just signed up as a customer? They didn't buy their phone company or email provider...you get the point.
