> Title: "Searching, Finding,  Buying, Selling: Story of a Long tail Online Marketplace"
> 
> Abstract: In this talk we will present the personality of an Online Marketplace. 
> This Online Marketplace has all the characteristics of an Offline Marketplace 
> and more because of the simultaneous anonymity and familiarity of the buyers 
> and sellers. The long tail nature of the transactions combined with differing 
> capabilities, motives, and trust leads to a vibrant Social Commerce Network. 
> We will present interesting technical challenges and opportunities in Finding, 
> Classification, merchandizing and reputation systems.
