The first of our Ebay auctions went better than expected. I really thought this would take at least a few months to really get rolling, but we sold all three available spots on G'Day World. The PSP Show sold one of three. It should really have done better than G'Day World because it has a specific target audience - people who play the PSP. Anyone writing games or applications for the PSP should be advertising on it. Whereas G'Day World's audience is best described as people who DON'T think I'm an idiot - which is a small and eclectic bunch of people. Anyway - some further education required. The rest of this first batch of auctions have some bids as well but we still have some spots without bids.
I'm kicking myself for not starting these auctions ages ago. Like I'm also kicking myself for not moving to the US a year ago. My 2WebCrew mate Nik Cubrilovic, The Boy From Gong, is kicking ass and taking names over there for his start-up Omnidrive and detailed in this story in the Sydney Morning Herald. Anyone in the US with a spare couch I can sleep on for a couple of months? I don't eat much. All I need is broadband.
Cam said "people who DON'T think I'm an idiot"
I wouldn't go THAT far Cam, let's just say people who enjoy your special brand of idiocy rather. ;-)

If you are serious about living on a couch (actually have a camping cot) and willing to consider the 'wilds' of Arizona, 2hrs from a decent airport, shoot me an email, willing to deal with my dog I might have room for ya.

Thanks Thomas. Arizona might be a LITTLE out of the way for me though - except when DEMO is on in Scottsdale in Feb. :-) More looking for NY, SF or SEA.

I think your really miss representing the G'day World audience. I think your and idiot but you are an interesting idiot.

yeah good point Molly. So... G'day World's audience is... "People who think Cam is an interesting idiot". There's something for my Wikipedia profile (when someone bothers to write one up for me).

I am sure I created you a Wikipedia entry but I think they deleted it. I did make sure that you have a place in the history of podcasting entry:

So seeings as you have sold advertising, is there any chance of you actually doing a show? ;-) (just being serious). Where else am I going to find out who Eddie is boning next?
