Despite the news of Greg Isaacs' departure having been mentioned in several sites, this key eBay director's recent departure hasn't made the wire reports news. Isaacs announced his departure yesterday.
Who is Greg Isaacs, some of you might wonder? He's not on the big eBay's management list, after all. True. Greg Isaacs is, or rather was, the Director of the Developer Program at eBay.
Through AuctionBytes Blog, I found that Isaacs was mentioned in July 2006 in CNNMoney's Business 2.0 journal in the top 50 people who matter. The top ten names in the list include Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google's co-founders, Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO and Ray Ozzie of Microsoft. Then, in number 31, Greg Isaac is mentioned. Skype's co-founders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström, are ranked after him at number 36, just to give you an idea.
Greg Isaacs had managed to persuade eBay's management to allow outside developers access to eBay's database so that they could build tools and widgets around it. Already several startups have sprung up from the developer site.
