Here and there about gbuy, and google is a bit silent about the actual process until they officially release tomorrow, is that only selected new merchants will get a chance into gbuy and that customers will have to use gbuy to purchase. Unless google gives good indication tomorrow, it will not be like paypal for everyone to join and send and receive money, etc. Only to be used at merchants using gbuy. Hoping it will be like paypal....will see what google puts out tomorrow.
"Due to a bad data push your funds have been lost. A small $4828989311.39 reimbursing charge has been placed on your account which must be paid before it can be reactivated. Thank you for choosing Gbuy!"
Found an interetsting article..... http://ibmwatch.eweek.com/blogs/google_watch/archive/2006/06/27/11115.aspx
Today is the day? It's 1 pm in this part of the world and no sign yet. Guess it starting during the next hours. Hopefully
I found 2 intresting subdomains http://checkout.google.com and http://purchase.google.com What about them ? does anyone know ?
One leads to search and the other one to google account login here. They may perhaps update during this day.
Well, I wonder if Gbuy will have a referral system? I'd like to hit all my sites and blogs with referral links as soon as it starts. I gather the income at first would be staggering.
Normally, if something like this comes up the business news and the stock market knows it first. Checking todays news didn't show anything about Gbuy instead I found this Federal Judge to Rule on Google's 'Right' to Limit Speech on the Internet LOS ANGELES, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- KinderStart.com -- At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 30, 2006 in United States Federal Court, 280 S. First Street, Courtroom #3, San Jose, California, a drama will play out between KinderStart.com (a site for kids zero to seven and their parents) and the giant of the Internet, Google, controlling up to 80% or more of 'Net searches worldwide. *(LOGO: Send2Press.com/mediadesk/logo-KinderStart_72dpi.jpg) The hearing is open to members of the press and the public. Cameras are not permitted in the courtroom. If the Federal judge rules in favor of KinderStart on any of the nine counts, sunlight will finally begin to lift the dark and secret shroud that covers the Googleplex. Google's co-founder Larry Page declared that a search engine should be "like the mind of God." "It's clear Google is acting like god as they determine what we mortals shalt and shalt not see," stated Victor Goodman, Founder of KinderStart.com. Goodman continues, "Is this company that censors speech and ideas in China now doing it in the USA? Google decides what news we get, what sites come up, and what sites disappear -- in effect, what we buy and think. This case is about far more than Kinderstart; it is about our freedom to know, speak and choose without a self-appointed Gatekeeper." KinderStart.com is the lead plaintiff in a class action filed in Federal court on March 17, 2006. Website: http://www.kinderstart.com All trademarks acknowledged.
