从这家最成功的互联网公司身上能学到许多教训。 10年前,在加州硅谷工作的软件工程师皮埃尔·奥米达(Pierre Omidyar)就开始思考,如何利用互联网建立一个交易系统,买卖双方可以在这个网上系统中确定真正的市场价格。他花了许许多多周末休息的时间,编写了电脑编码。一开始,只有少数人访问这个网站, 其中包括其经营PEZ糖果自动售货机的女友。到1995年末,完成了数千宗买卖,人们对易趣的兴趣逐渐上升,而且兴趣上升的势头一发不可收。易趣网从起步时的默默无闻,逐渐成为全球巨头公司,拥有 1．5亿注册用户,这些用户今年的买卖额可望超过400亿美元。
Learn a lot from this most successful Internet company. Ten years ago, Pierre Omidyar, a software engineer working in Silicon Valley, California, started to think about how to use the Internet to create a trading system where both buyers and sellers can determine the true market price. He spent many weekend breaks, writing computer code. From the very beginning, only a handful of people visited the site, including his girlfriend, who runs a PEZ candy vending machine. By the end of 1995, thousands of transactions were completed and interest in eBay rose gradually, and the momentum of rising interest was overdue. Since its inception, eBay has become a global giants company with 150 million registered users, and these users are expected to trade more than 40 billion U.S. dollars this year.
