eBay’s Chief Product Architect had a lot to say about the company’s effort to capitalize on mobile technology in a recent interview. Steve Yankovich said eBay’s move toward structured data is key to personalizing the shopping experience, and he also talked about gathering data from social media sites and how eBay could use such data:
“What do you pin on your social networks? What does that tell us about you?
“If I understand what you’ve done historically in disparate product categories, through machine learning and AI, I could start to create browse experiences and custom product pages that are just for you.
“Stay tuned as we’ll have more to share later this Fall.”
