Edgeio and — For Sale - One Used (old) Wireless Access Point

Posted on February 19, 2006 One Comment

I received an invite in the mail this morning to try out Edgeio.com which appears to be in the process of rolling out or going live soon. From their About page:

edgeio dynamically organizes listings published from RSS enabled websites making them discoverable via the edgeio website and through an open set of web services. Our goal is to give publishers of all sizes the means to control how their content is published, discovered, and consumed. By doing so, edgeio provides everyone easy, up to date, access to content from the Internet’s edge.

So basically, this is aimed at the bloggers, but works with any RSS site. Got something to sell? Publish it on the blog, add the “listing” tag and *poof* it’ll show up. Looking for something to buy, you can browse various categories and even filter things down to your region. While registering, you specify your region, which will help make this thing more manageable for “local” stuff. Might prove to be an interesting competitor to Craigslist, eh? And, just to keep things interest, folks can add Edgeio listing to their site to promote local/regional stuff for sale. Can even control (via tags) what sort of stuff is shown. I may have to experiment with that later when there’s more stuff up. Yeah, like I need busier side bars!

So, here’s my test listing:

For Sale, one Netgear ME102 Wireless Access Point! (yes, the replaced one from this post). Still works well, has the latest updates to support 128bit WEP. If you’re after a “b” class access point with WEP only, this one will get the job done. Beats having to fart around with an “all-in-one” router/firewall/access point to just have the AP.

I’d like $5 + shipping. Paypal is fine, contact me if interested.

Have power and managed USB cable, you can find the manuals online.
Have a look.

[update] Apologies to those with the RSS subs, I know I’ve been tweaking this post a lot today. I realized, for instance that title obviously matters — as do tags (duh)! But earlier today I found a spot at the edgeio site that allowed me to do some tweaking of the listing. Now, however, I can’t find that. If anyone else playing with this could give me a nudge… For instance, I was able to set some meta stuff (price as an example) for my listing. Darned if I can find it now, as I wanted to see if I could add a pic to an existing listing from edgeio. (aka bandwidth tweaking!).
