Switchplanet: Web 2.0 Meets E-Bay

Web 2.0 is a quickly spreading type of social internet environment philosophy that has inspired many people, web developers and not, to create their own socially interactive websites. I read in Web 2.0 magazine that with the huge fluctuation in social media websites, the really big question is: Who will develop the next Amazon.com? The next E-Bay? The next Craig's List?

I couldn't agree more, as I, myself and quite sick of the "revenue sharing for writers" websites, or "I wanna be MySpace" clones. We've been there, done that and now it's time to develop something that truly integrates the aspect of social web interaction, with efficiency and well...reason! If you enjoy sites like MySpace, you're going to use MySpace. Enough said.

SwitchPlanet.com is a website that offers users to opportunity to trade DVDs, Games, CDs and books with other switchplanet members through their Web 2.0 focused community. While the idea of trading my media with other people sounds like an interesting opportunity and worth checking out, there is also another big factor of Switchplanet that makes it stand out to me.

Why is Switchplanet the next Web 2.0 Phenomena?

Because it's set up like a social group of internet users, allowing them to maintain a profile, contact members, share thoughts and ideas in forums, request friendships and more.

They have an incredible amount of users, who have fully developed their profiles and interaction levels with many friends, bios and information on their profiles.

The idea of "trading" instead of purchasing gives switchplanet a unique advantage because the opportunities are endless compared to an online store similar to E-Bay. This is because as long as the goods are "traded" you can pretty much trade anything, by any artist, from any company without having to claim copyrights on any of the merchandise.
