Bidding for the first invite to a Rich Internet Application on eBay
This is kind of cool so I couldn’t pass up the chance to mention it. The San Dimas project, which is the Apollo demo that nearly everyone has seen (and I got a first crack at here) is close to going public beta. In honor of that, the people on the project decided it would be fitting to auction off the very first invite to try it out.
Right now the bidding is up to $214.50 which is mind boggling to me. I’m not sure if it’s a sign that we really do have too much money in the Valley, but I’ll try to take it as a sign that people are just really exited about trying new Rich Internet Applications out. I wonder what they could get if they auctioned off the first invite to the Silverlight New York Times Reader.
RIApedia had the scoop before I did, so thanks to Mike for the tip.
