Friday Dec 31, 2004

Time for someone from Liberty alliance marketing team to give a call to eBay.

eBay Drops Microsoft Passport (NewsFactor): "NewsFactor - E-commerce giant eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) is dropping Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) Passport, dealing a blow to the touted identity-management technology and raising questions about its future."

This was expected for some time. EBay wanted to tap into Msft network of users but since Passport was less than success in that network, eBay no longer had the original strategic reason for the Passport based alliance. With the success of Liberty in places such as OMA and with IBM joining Liberty, eBay may move closer to Liberty for tapping into the even larger network of mobile subscribers.
