Ebay announced this afternoon that it’s acquiring an auto industry technology company known as Cargigi, a large provider of advertising and marketing services on a number of popular free classified websites, like Craigslist and others. Deal terms were not revealed, though eBay described the acquisition as “small.” Cargigi’s team of 30 will join eBay, and the product itself will replace eBay’s Dealer Center. The full integration is expected to be finalized by the end of 2016, eBay tells us. The company says that it’s interested in using the technology Cargigi developed to help onboard auto dealers’ inventory onto eBay’s website. In addition to replacing eBay’s own Dealer Center product, Cargigi will help enable eBay to “build out its structured data capabilities for the vehicles industry,” said eBay in an announcement. Over time, more functionality will also be added. But more immediately, dealers will have access to analytics they didn’t before. Though not a consumer-facing brand, Cargigi had developed technology that helped dealers more easily get their ads in front of online users, including tools that help market autos on Craigslist and other websites, through postings and ads, as well as on other social media, like Facebook and YouTube.

Dealers also could access analytics to see how well their ads performed, plus use tools to monitor competitors, manage their own inventory and enhance the photos used in their listings.ar drone gps review The startup itself was founded in 2009 by Tony Hoang, whose previous automotive data collection and marketing company CDMdata Inc. was acquired by Kelley Blue Book. ar drone 2 costHoang and Cargigi’s team of 30 will now join eBay Motors as a result of this deal.ar drone 2 uk “After making a significant impact on the automotive sector early on, Cargigi quickly became one of the top classified marketing service providers for thousands of dealerships nationwide. cheap drone copters

We've decided to round up some of the best for a variety of different budgets and applications, to save you the hassle...Version 2.0 of the Parrot AR Drone is a great Wi-Fi-enabled quadcopter drone.

It packs 4GB of flash memory and a 720p HD camera, which captures footage at 30 frames per second. Better still, it has a USB flash drive for recording if you run out of internal memory. Drone control is done by the free AR.Freeflight app and is relatively straightforward. Large, noisy and a lot of fun.A combination of carbon propellers and new, 9g lighter motors have improved the Storm Drone 4 over its Drone FF predecessor. For filming duty this is one stable quadcopter, capable of hovering itself and a GoPro camera with ease (a Hero 3 is recommended). Piloting is done using a proper remote control as opposed to a phone app. A series of LEDs adds an element of fun and makes it visible at night.If the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 is too big, there's always the option of the MiniDrone Rolling Spider, which has just gone on the market. The smaller quadcopter is capable of hovering in remarkably stable fashion, even if piloting error smacks it into an obstacle. A free app is used for controlling the Rolling Spider, and unlike most drones, it has wheels that allow it to roll along - be that on the floor, walls or ceiling.
