[projectvrm] Aroxo

[Victor Demydov < >]

Hello all,

Did anyone catch this a few days ago? 
http://uk.techcrunch.com/2009/04/30/aroxos-21st-century-haggling-engine-will-target-ebay/
 

These guys are from UK. They've developed a 'haggling engine' that very much 
goes along the principles of VRM in terms of shifting the power from supplier 
to the user.

Back in Feb 2008, I had a lively dsicussion about very similar concept with 
Adriana in New York. While some key (at least in my mind) components to make 
this a true VRM system are missing from Aroxo's implementation, I think that 
this is a great step in the right direction and a good 'beta test' of the 
space.

PS: Execution has some holes, but nothing is perfect i suppose :)

Would love to hear people's comments.
