Confirming a scoop I brought you almost three months ago, Ebates issued a press release today to officially announce that founder Alessandro Isolani has passed the CEO reins over to Kevin Johnson.
Johnson’s strengths listed are responsible email marketing, SEO, and website personalization. He says he intends to improve the shopping experience for members, while increasing value to its retailers.
It’s hard to improve on near-perfection, but I do have a few suggestions for Mr. Johnson: a wider range of emails for which members can opt-in (for example, one focusing on travel deals, one focusing on clothing and accessories, one focusing on free shipping offers, etc.), developing more social networking opportunities (enhancing the shopping blog, giving members the option to create shareable wish lists and to create product reviews that could be integrated into product search results, etc.), better coordination of the daily double rebate merchant with limited time sales and coupon codes, monthly payouts versus quarterly, a Live Help option for customer support… okay, I’ll stop. 
But feel free to add YOUR suggestions for improving Ebates if you have any. A little birdie tells me that they read this site sometimes.

Hey Becky,
Why give them so many great ideas for free? How about they hire you to consult with them to further build their brand? No one knows their competition better than you. This site is your resume.
Hey maybe I could hire you and we could take over the Internet and have total control?
Talk to you soon!
