Meg Whitman CEO of eBay - Live Blogging @ Web 2.0 Summit

Tim O’Reilly had a conversation with Meg Whitman, the CEO of eBay. Meg stated that eBay has made more changes on the site over the last 3 months then they have done over the last 3 years. This is in response to an eBay slow down in transactions.

They then talked about the future of PayPal. Meg stated that the purchase of Pay Pal was one of the best acquisitions ever in the tech industry. Paypal is looking into not only being you financial information on the web, but possibly used as an identity and reputation system. Maybe use PayPal to log into sites or post on blogs and have your posts weighted based on your reputation. Pretty interesting.
