When I "discovered" eBay early in 1998, and tried to sign up for an account, I learned that I had signed up for an Auction Web account in the Summer of 1997! <br /><br />Anywayyy, when Pierre O. went to register the name he wanted to use (Echo Bay), he discovered it was taken, so he shortened it to eBay ... and the rest is history (and disaster since Donahoe took over the helm).<br /><br />I've been using Prairie Primitives since I changed my eBay ID to that in 1999. Guess it's a good name because more than a few people have copied it in some form. When I wanted to purchase the domain name, I had to add "Folk Art" to the name because "PrairiePrimitives" dot com was already taken! (Prairie Primitives dot com is an ugly cookie cutter site that's usually "under construction.") Along the way, I've learned that PrairiePrimitives is too long to use some places, such as Twitter, where I'm known as PrairiePrims. I'm PrairiePrimitives on Etsy (http://PrairiePrimitives.etsy.com)<br />Prairie Primitives on Etsyhttp://prairieprimitives.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364146526985747601.post-87823853070244238962012-07-19T01:36:57.940-05:002012-07-19T01:36:57.940-05:00Can you explain the difference and purpose of Trea...Can you explain the difference and purpose of Treasury vs Favorites vs Circles ? That would make a great post.<br /><br />Personally it is all becoming confusing. We use circles, treasuries and favorites to make friends and promote each other. We use treasuries and favorites...to make friends and help each other. All of this as a way to help business. <br />Then there is the : you circle me I circle you, you favorite me I favorite you, you treasury me I treasury you (can you un-favorite somebody or is it taboo?). If you add to that facebook, pinterest, twitter etc. when do you actually make anything ?glaudiushttp://www.etsy.com/shop/GestOfCreationnoreply@blogger.com
