Meg Whitman’s Exit Interview
in TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld, 24 January 2008
Whitman, the departing head of eBay, tells Schonfeld that her best moves were global expansion and buying PayPal, but that she regrets not having a Japanese outlet. Her successor John Donahoe claims that the fundamentals of eBay remain the same despite the changing online world. He adds that the firm's customers will lead the way by adding eBay listings to other sites. Whitman also raises doubts about whether social networking sites can become homes for commerce, and floats the idea of using eBay's reputation with PayPal. The interview itself is relatively shallow, but the reader discussion that follows is a good one.
