Web 2.0 Expo: eBay Tells Developers to Embrace Making Money

EBay is on a mission to woo developers at the Web 2.0 Expo this week in San Francisco. During a keynote speech Wednesday, eBay CTO Mark Carges told an audience filled with Internet start-ups that “nothing matters more than getting paid for the hard work that you do.” EBay knows a thing or two about making money, he said, before unveiling a new program to open up the company’s marketplace platform and PayPal services to outside developers.
