first online eCommerce company

[oliveboden]

You know, when Armand Rousso opened or rather launched the first online eCommerce company, many people told him that the medium wouldn’t work. Now he must be thinking why he didn’t patent the processes used by the International Stamp Exchange (the world’s first e-com venture started by him). This proves, beyond doubt, that one must truly listen only to his heart and not get deterred when others doubt his innovative concepts..!! Right?

Well, it definitely falls under Off-Topic.

google returned this website with only two pages on it.

North American Holding Corp. has been selected to aid in the development of the International Stamp Exchange Corp., the first stamp exchange. The exchange will be modeled after traditional securities exchanges in that it will provide bid and asked prices for stamps listed in the industry standard postage stamp Scott Catalogue according to various qualities.

Rousso, the 35 year old founder of the exchange and one of the world’s leading rare stamp traders. “This will bring a new dimension to the stamp industry and will attract millions of new collectors because of stamps.”

I'm not giving u the link. I think its a joke or something. This guy can't be serious. have you heard of ebay before?

Do a search for the name "Armand Rousso" on Google and you'll get plenty of hits, but I'll bet they are all created by the man himself.

He seems to be some sort of deluded self-styled visionary who wants to create some sort of personality cult around himself.
