Fun at the Webby Awards

If you haven't been following along with my posts, on Tuesday Meg (our CEO) was out in New York to accept a Webby Award on behalf of the eBay Community. But she wasn't alone. eBay members buy_big_from_brandi and arizonaswede accompanied her to the event to represent the Community, making it a true team effort.
Some quick background: The Webbys are a quirky celebration honoring the "best of the internet." Their
best-known tradition, perhaps, is that all acceptance speeches are limited to only 5 words (no play-you- off music here!). After gathering suggestions from both members and employees, the group stepped up to the mic and gave the tongue-in-cheek winning suggestion: "Bidding Starts at 99 Cents!" That's the group to the right.
Time Magazine's Justin Fox sat at their table during the event. His thoughts, as well as a cool little camera-phone picture of Meg, can be found on his blog.
