eBay's Neighborhood

I've got news that eBay will soon be launching a social network site called Neighborhood in a bid to keep eBayers within eBay and stop them from seeking alternative sources for consumer products.

Seriously, I am no fan of social network sites because I keep telling myself that these are not my real friends. That's why they don't work well for me. So I don't think I will be using Neighborhood

According to this news report, there were 559.1 million items listed on eBay USA from April to June, 2007. That is a whole lot of items if you ask me and it is no wonder that people cannot find what they are looking for. One thing is of course the huge volume of items and the other is the gaming of keywords that throws the search engine off.

Do you think eBay's Neighborhood will appeal to you.
