Tech Talk
I was reading a bit today about communication between marketers and clients, as well as between marketers, directors, and management. There are so many times where mis-communication happens that can seriously affect the production as a whole, while the skills and techniques may be implemented perfectly.
It is extremely important that the language used between parties be the same. I don't mean a language like English but the understanding of what is being said. What you want ultimately is a document or some sort of common reference where people can look and have a clear understanding of what is happening.
Unfortunately even with such a set plan it may not work yet. There may need to be some "education" necessary to explain details or processes even in a general way.
With all this it is extremely important for things to run right with correct communication and expressions of what needs to get accomplished at the end of the day.

ChannelAdvisor Catalyst Wrap Up
As we announced back in January and February, the ChannelAdvisor Catalyst conference happened last week. I have heard exciting things from the people here that went. While I was unable to attend this year's ChannelAdvisor Catalyst due to my being away here is a wrap up from Scot Wingo posted on his eBay Strategies blog site. I look forward to being their next year!
Catalyst wrap-up.
We had a great time this week hosting over 400 customers, partners and merchants at our Catalyst conference. On the eBay side, we had lots of content:1. Bill Cobb (eBay) came and gave everyone an update on eBay. This was covered in AuctionBytes here.
2. We announced a partnership with Overstock to enable sellers to sell there for the first time. (note this is not overstock auctions). Announcement is here and auctionbytes coverage is here.
3. In my talk I covered some of the opportunities in challenges in the rapidly expanding world of online ecommerce channels. Auctionbytes coverage is here and you can download the slides here (Download Catalyst_SW_ecomm_trends.pdf)
Additional ebay content was covered in the Fraud panel (Rob Chestnut came but was very sick - Rob we hope you are feeling better!), the Wall Street Panel and if you count shopping.com, the Comparison Shopping Engine Panel.
It was great seeing all of our customers, partners and friends at the conference and everyone at ChannelAdvisor came back fired up about our new offerings.

All Wikipedia Links Are Now NOFOLLOW
All Wikipedia Links Are Now NOFOLLOW -
It looks like Wikipedia has disabled all linkbacks from their pages due to spammers and some world series SEO competition. From what I read on the Wikipedia site (not the article linked above) this could just be temporary, but as of now it applies to basically the whole site. Ouch on the search engine value...
I have mixed feelings on this as I do believe that valid links from correctly designed pages should not be no-follow. Wikipedia is supported by its content and user edited and valued support. Now, what to the content owners or contributers have to gain in any plausible way?
Yes, Wikipedia is an information site, but it's design and fame are such that it has become a reliable source of verifiable content. Search engines, marketing experts and regular internet users value the content in Wikipedia as almost like a published encyclopedia. Now, with the NOFOLLOW tags enabled the traceable value of the content and the outbound supporting resources are nil. That is what I don't agree with. Personally I feel that spammers need to be devalued certainly, but most major search engines are already implementing the technology to filter this out.
Maybe Wikipedia should implement a similar technology instead of punishing the so-called "valued" contributers it relies on.
