Mediaholic

I was watching Larry Page keynote from CES (I missed it when I was there and it was just recently made available for viewing via google video) and read some aricles about the whole notion of google creating a marketplace for digital media. This marketplace allows everyone to put their media for sale, the big studios and the small citizens are pretty much equal in what they can do. A nice concept which got me thinking about eBay. eBay is the biggest online marketplace in the world in which everyone is equal and in which you can find individuals, small businesses and very large companies selling in the same market using the same exact tools. So, what is the problem here? It should be kind of obvious that eBay can't just watch google take over what may be the biggest growth area for eBay in the coming years and therefore watch for eBay to enter this market soon, maybe even in 2006. Just another prediction for the new year.
