Online bidding craze
auction bargin ipod xbox cheap PS3
eBay stirred up a storm of the online shopping experience. It is just as much a new techno-household name as google and msn. Many others tried to copy the model, and many failed to gain the attention and recognition beyond what eBay had already established.
A new Australian based online selling/bidding site has been created for online bargain hunters. The PanetBid team has created a site especially for Australians to trade online, and because it'ss only in Australia, it'll be easier to find what you want that is actually available to you.
Never fear, they do have websites for other countries as well - our closest neighbour should try out planetbid.co.nz.
It's not purely copying eBay either. It has a cool real time count down system that allows you to view the items that are about to expire, uses a bid credit system to keep the trading fair, allowing only the active members to participate in selling and bidding. You can also buy credits to bid for the items, but then again I fail to see how this could be 'competitive' in the online bidding business. Perhaps someone who understands it more can tell me.

Chicago: The Musical
Went to see Chicago the other day. The Australian production for readers from other countries. It was... good. But it wasn't great.
Perhaps I am being a little more critical because I knew the musical, have seen other productions and I thought they could just do a little bit more.
No doubt the singing and the dancing were fantastic. No doubt the live band/orchestra did a great job. The cast were wonderful.
Stage design was what lacked, and perhaps a little more on the costumes too.
The only time we had some colour and light were during the trial, but I thought a lot more could have impressed more.
I wanted to see the bling, the bang and the dazzle, as what Chicago should have been. There needed to be a lot more wow, and a lot more ooh and ahhhs. A lot more sparkle.
Or am I just being a traditionalist?
