We always think that a website giving us more sophisticated options and features for more flexibility in terms of the service that they provide would make it more useful and add more value. But I think the trend is smoothly changing to simple pages that offer only one service and more important they do it great and complete. Everyone has used Google for sure. In their first page there is a Logo and a text box to search. Nothing has changed since Y2K that I remember except the results that are enormous and much more relevant than before. Still you can use tons of innovations that come out of Google labs every day. That’s why I want to call this decade of Web 2.0 or maybe Web 3.0 in a close future the decade of simplicity. Simple pages with self explanatory design that is polished with CSS and has gotten efficient with AJAX.

2 Weeks ago I decided to buy an iPhone to replace multiple devices that I should carry around all the time. My iPod, Cell phone, PDA and my point and shoot camera. Just for a little bit of a background, I can easily call myself a good eBayer and I use it for buying almost everything that I can find there. But all the stupid procedures that takes for listing and the price tags that brings you additional charges is always an obstacle and something that prevents you for easily listing your item. I always think as shipping as a great pain the butt and the money that Paypal gets as a commission, the listing charges and shipping fee will lead me to just forget about it. So I tried to use this alternative that has always been around and I once used it to find a place to live in and I should mention that it was quite successful. So I listed my PDA, and an extra RAM and useless first generation apple Bluetooth mouse on an ugly website like craigslist. Registration takes less than minute and listing something is as simple as writing an email. A title and a text box for writing the description of the item. You can leave your number or they can contact u through craigslist which makes you anonymous during the whole trade. It’s worth mentioning that Craigslist doesn’t charge at all and also you can use it for selling stuff locally. Means people who are interested can just meet you wherever you agree on and exchange the money and the good. That simple. It didn’t take more than 12 hours that I found someone interested in my RAM and another guy in my PDA. And I finally we met in less than a week only because I was busy. Otherwise I could have done it in the next day. SO from listing to getting the money in cache it could have taken less than 48 hours which is almost impossible on eBay, Even if you list it for local pickup.
