WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: December 11, 2002 Trodo Update -- 23 members are offering 111 items on Trodo. Not too shabby for only being live for two days. I'm already amazed at the quality and diversity of the items. There is some good stuff available if you ask me: Black and White (game), Black Hawk Down (DVD), Mummy Returns (DVD), Star wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith (game), Web Design in a Nutshell (book), XML: a primer (book), and more.
Reader Comments...
Can anyone read Chinese? Any idea what they are saying on this site? I'm so very curious, especially since they are providing good traffic flow to Trodo. Thanks in advance! Posted by: John S. Rhodes on December 11, 2002 12:25 AM
The vast majority of items seem to be only available for shipping to the US, making browsing a very frustrating experience for those living elsewhere. Perhaps shipping could be made more specific (tick boxes rather than free text?) so listings can be filtered geographically, or just keep the text short and display it in listings..?
I think the site would me more useful if you could specify what you WANT as well as what you are offering. I might have something that I consider worthless but it's only if I see that someone happens to want that item, that it becomes worth selling/offering.

That site you referenced traffic coming from is Japanese...the blog entry on the 11th references Trodo and the author writes about how it's perhaps an idea whose time has come...something about how people have useless items around them all the time and this could potentially be a good way to get rid of stuff. jonathan Posted by: jonathan on December 11, 2002 10:17 PM
Personally, I'd be more interested in the Harry Potter DVD than "Black and White" - that game is more useful as a doorstop! It's still frustrating to have to click into each individual category to see DVDs, and the descriptions aren't very good, but I suppose that is what contacting the poster is for.
