So, you wore a Google shirt to eBay live, right after Google and eBay had a massive fallout. If that's the best way you have of getting attention for your software, you're in trouble.

Then again, if I had just spent 5 months on my store and only had a beginners-book 30-minute Scriptaculous + scaffolding job to show for it, I might resort to wearing a Google shirt too.



Agreed. The whole thing reads like one long smartass comment.

Especially this line: I replied (somewhat smartly) that no, since I didn't work for Google, why would I be promoting Google Checkout, "but what if I was?

Not only does the author pat his own ass by adding in commentary on his own comments ("somewhat smartly"), he had the audacity to throw in a sophomoric quip to the Ebay guy ("what if I was?")

I would have tossed him out in an instant.
