eBay Launches “Trendy” Digital Magazine

November 4, 2009

eBay has launched the digital magazine www.TheInsideSource.com as part of its over-arching media push to recapture consumer mindshare. The “magazine” opens with a trendy look, focusing on designer trends and the usual pop culture stuff that appeals to that segment of the Consumer Nation.

The launch was reported by Reuters.

Off-Season Gear never had it this trendy.

The debut edition includes a nice interview with Laurie DeAgostino, one of the nicest people and best sellers eBay has to offer, here: Link

I’m not a Vogue or GQ reader, digital or otherwise. My midwestern sensibilities don’t afford over-hyped, over-priced “fashion” items any more than my contorted wallet does; 40% off of way too much is still too much where I live. But it’s well done, and it’s something that might bring some iPhone/Blackberry-toting spenders into the site, so I say, “woo-hoo!”
