I did find it interesting that you emailed me rather than sending a message via Twitter and this would explain why. It's interesting that you used another, unconnected network to gain an insight into my reputation; without the formal structure of eBay it was a very clever replacement. What we have here is an example of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whuffie#See_also" rel="nofollow">whuffie</a> in action pretty much as applied to social networks by the lovely <a href="http://www.horsepigcow.com/book-the-whuffie-factor/" rel="nofollow">Tara Hunt</a>.

I'm not a member of twitter myself but a colleague told me she found the laptop for sale in a search. Clicking through to your blog link and then from there to your linked in account (with plenty of recommendations!) gave me enough confidence to go for the purchase. I'm an avid eBay customer and agree with your comments regarding the disintegration of the community feedback aspect, this time I relied on evidence of an online reputation. I’m the NC10 buyer!.
