11/15/00 update: some people don't like it (and this article reminds me I forgot to mention EBay had acquired Half.com.)
01/05/01 update: I had missed Buy.com partnership with Half.com, which should come into effect this quarter.
02/09/01 update: Half.com seems a good alternative to Ebay for sellers.
03/20/01 update: Authors Plan Protest.
04/20/01 update: Switchouse raises another $7M. (not $8M, corrected on 08/04/01)
