Etsy: An Ajax Marketplace for Handmade Goods
Etsy is a Ajax-y, Web 2.0 inspired online marketplace for handmade items, sold by the creators.  Each item is displayed with information categorized similarly to Ebay, complete with seller feedback.

What I like about it: 
  • The Alchemy feature where you can request something made for you.
  • The interface, which is smooth
  • The ability to search by color, which is totally funky - I love it!  I found items that I wouldn't have ordinarily via searching by color.
  • It gifts artists and artisans the ability to sell things in a format other than Ebay's auction or a local consignment shop.
What I don't like:
  • Some parts of the interface aren't intuitive.  They are OK for people not afraid to click on things, but non-techies have a fear of clicking.
As a part of my testing and reviewing duties, I'll order a couple of things and update this post on how the whole process worked.
