check out http://epuck.com/ --though it is apparent that their primary focus

Another is http://www.airbomb.com/ .... Yet, in these examples content
*isn't* king, cause they want to sell stuff. It is, however, a very valuable
way to build trust and a respect so as to not look like a prettied-up ebay.
just thoughts, not sure if they went anywhere....
