eBay is not Electronic Bay
Sunday, August 3, 2008
The “e” letter which attach to some popular business term such e-commers has mean of “electronic”. In the same way, the letter of “e” matching in “email” has the meaning electronic mail. How ever the letter “e” in term of eBay.com has the unsual meaning opposite to what we talk above. Actually The term “eBay” represents to Echo Bay. Ebay.com is one of the most popular online store.
Formerly, the domain eBay is not the first choice when register the name of the store. The management in that time proffered to choose the name of “EchoBay.com”. Unfortunately , in that time, that desired domain name was not available. It had been registered by the gold company Echo bay. Unluky in that former time seems to lucky in the present time. Think all customer prefer to memorize eBay.com than echobay.com. That unavailable becomes blessing for to day.
