[01:45] <hads> Oh dear. http://www.nbr.co.nz/opinion/wheedle-lets-you-see-and-change-reserve-price-someone-elses-auction
[01:51] <ojwb> i can't help but think this is a counter-example to the "all publicity is good publicity" maxim
[01:55] <mwhudson> yeah
[01:55] <mwhudson> it's impressively bad
[01:57] <ojwb> they don't seem to have a clear plan for beating the network effects
[01:57] <ojwb> which are very strong for marketplaces
[01:59] <ojwb> it looks like they were trying to make it easy and (initially) cheap for people selling lots of stuff to bulk list, so they don't just have a totally empty site at least
[01:59] <mwhudson> they don't seem to have a clear plan for a product that doesn't look like it was done by a toddler in crayon
[01:59] <ojwb> i did reach for my sunglasses when the front page loaded
[01:59] <mwhudson> (and i mean both design and execution there)
[01:59] <ojwb> stop dissing toddlers
[03:59] <chilts> hads: yep, I think i'll need to write that one instead of using someone else's code :)
[03:59] <chilts> will open source when I do
[03:59]  * chilts replies on Twitter
[04:58] <hads> ojwb: Missed your tweet, no pre upgrade check didn't catch it :(
[04:58] <ojwb> i doubt you missed my tweet
[04:58] <ojwb> unless someone is bored enough to be posing as me on twitter
[04:59] <hads> Erm, yes. I was looking at your reply here and then caught chilts reply while I was typing.
[04:59] <hads> Right, must make tea.
[19:10] <ojwb> morning
[19:24] <Atamira> morena
[19:37] <ajmitch> morning
[20:01] <chilts> morning
[20:22] <ibeardslee> morning
[21:16] <hads> LCA early birds are selling out quickly in case anyone didn't know that.
