I disagree on that prediction.

There were a load of online auction sites, then eBay won. You could wrongly say that people moved from auction site to auction site, but that wasn't the case.

Maybe there will be the next facebook, the next ebay, the next amazon, but I'm skeptical.




I was under the impression that most of the 'me too' auction sites came /after/ ebay showed how it was done, then they died, because they were trying to beat ebay by being like ebay.
