My Blog Utopia - Morning Briefing.

I realize since I am on the West Coast that its only morning for a small % of my readers but my friend Kevin Harmon of Inflatable Madness occasionally gives me a morning briefing about what's happening in the world of online media sellers. So I thought I would try to provide a regular morning briefing post on the blog.

Amazon News:

• Amazon showed strong revenue and earnings for Q1 - 1) North Amer. & Internat’l media segments (books, music, video) each did $26MM+ more than expected, showing no slowdown (22%+ Y/Y growth) in AMZN’s most "mature" segments.
  
• Amazon announces new Shipping credits for Sellers

eBay News:

• Ebay sued in California over PayPal unit - They have been sued before and will be sued again. Probably not much will come of this.
  
• Marketworks Launches Premium Web Store for eBay, Online Sellers - This is not a soultion for smaller eBay sellers but may be an option for medium to large sellers who do not have an Internet presence off of eBay.

Google News:

• Google named most powerful global brand - Poor little Microsoft falls from the top spot. 5 Years from now who will replace Google at the top?
