Any bets the core platform will be SixApart's Typepad platform ? Steve Rubel seems to think so ...

eBay to Launch Blogs, Wikis and Search Tags

By launching blogs and wikis, eBay is taking a big step to push into the social commerce arena.

Conversation drives commerce so integrating blogs, wikis and tags into the eBay toolkit is a natural extension to their core platform, which has long included discussion boards. I would not be surprised to see the company take this a step further and build eBay into a giant social network that lets like-minded buyers and sellers find each other.

eBay's love for blogging doesn't stop there. It has also converted its newsletter into a TypePad-powered blog. Given this I bet TypePad/6A will be the back-end provider for eBay's blogs. A developer's wiki is already live.
