sfgate is running ads by yahoo hotjobs, citibank, ... -- and Google. But the San Francisco Chronicle is a newspaper for "losers", right?

And Boston is such a wicked hot party location, too. Shucks. (Seems my invitation got lost in the mail anyway.)

I wish Google the best of luck in this front. I would love to use Google Base to sell the occasional random toys I decide to part with, rather than ebay. The only reason I haven't is because of the significant market share eBay holds.

Google should step up and promote their Base right now.

Doesn’t this means it’s time for an EBay affiliates to buy adwords for some EBay search term and make a nice affiliatte bounty? Even better, this is probably a good time for all the online auction sites to spend some marketing dough and gain a little market share. Who is going to be the biggest loser?

$25mm stings Google. Sure. They would bend over and pick it up off the sidewalk if they found it. But, what does pulling that spend do to eBay!? They were spending it and seeing a return. Where are they going to park that now? The Federated Media Network maybe!

I see a self inflicted wound here for eBay’s earnings. Imagine all those little doohicky’s not getting sold at auction because of this. Merchants are going to notice the difference if it lasts too long.
