So GoDaddy just launched this new thing called GoDaddy MarketPlace. It’s news to me (seeing as I just saw it here it might be news to everyone? idk?

Ok…so I have a few issues with this. Mainly…what is the point? Mall type ecommerce always just seems to be done wrong. I don’t get why they’ve gone this route other than to possibly make money off of the people who want to include their products there.  Other than that I really do not see a huge demand for something like this. I have to keep this short, but can someone please tell me what the point of this was if not for the $20 per merchant they’ll get? (and the possible 9% on sales but is it going to be that popular where it’s worth it?)

I appreciate any feedback anyone has. I don’t want to crap on their parade but I just don’t see the value or point in it.
