Here two eBay staffers pass out warm fuzzies, the little puffy balls shown before them on the table. Each warm fuzzy has a little note attached with a phrase like, "I like your screen name." They were to be used by attendees as ice breakers so they could get to know one another better. Cute idea, but I didn't get a good feel for how popular they were. I only noticed a few people with them perched on their shoulders during my time in the exhibit hall.
