Just one day after launch, Edgeio already has a rival to contend with.  Although less well-designed (and certainly less well executed) than Mike’s “little eBay killer“, BlogBuy may add weight to the argument that edge aggregators a…

Seems risky to push away first time users who cannot find what they want from the (1,500?) blogs listed:

After a well-orchestrated build-up, Edgeio has finally launchioed.  Whether it succeeds or fails is secondary to the new breed of application it will spawn: the edge aggregator.  An edge aggregator is a service that aggregates content from blogs and…

sometimes there are no big explainers just simple logic. there were only two posts today. one was edgeio and one cable voip. the other (in the morning was an old post, which was top story for the weekend) and hence stayed at top. so nothing sinister here, like owning a piece of the company etc.

I’ve been watching your blog all day using netvibes and I noticed you added more entry but kept the Edgeio post up there as the second post. Are you trying to get Michael more publicity or you got a piece of the company somewhere? (Maybe i saw it wrong, but just a slight observation).

Gopi has a great point. How many active bloggers are there? Edgeio is a good idea with some really big holes they would have to fill before they become a prominent commerce system.

Is Edgeio the a Web 2.0 answer to Craigslist? – Until my mother or sister sets up their blog, they will probably never step foot on the service, so No!. The service has great features, Om likes the slider tool, but people shouldn’t say it’s the next Craigslist!

To me, Edgeio is currently the blogger version of Oodle. I noticed user’s have the ability to spam, miscategorized or select no longer available, but I don’t want to be responsible for that when I’m searching for a cheap iPod accessory. To test it, I just flagged an item “as spam”, the FAQ says that if another person flags this item, it is temporarily removed until a staff member takes appropriate action. Sounds like the staff will be up late reviewing spam, or legitimate items that got flagged so the other person could have their iPod appear at the top of the lists (just keeping it real, it happens, probably ask Craig).

My quick recommendations:

  • Charge a quarter or so to filter out junk
  • Maybe allow direct submissions into your website to maybe attract non-bloggers
  • Implement a rating system for buyers (many won’t have time to visit the buyer blog to see how legit it looks)

Last Friday Adrants reported that McKinney Silver extended their Pherotones campaign, a thinly disguised promotion for Oasys Mobile to viral video with a clip seeded through Emily’s Eatmail. “While ringing cell phones in the middle of a wedding cere…

However, I remain concerned with splogs too and have to agree with the CEO that Akismet may not cut it for this purpose. I remember looking at a splog-aggregator before (http://splogspot.com) — that may point toward the right direction.
@Gopi: I’m sure there are others who may second my opinion on this — I think that the blogging public presents viable business models in the p2p marketplace. To wonder “how the heck edgeio is going to achieve the critical mass …” is rather extreme, although your concern is probably taken into consideration.
