When the Marketplaces Die...

his post about Craigslist and the future of marketplaces. Here's the important quote: "I believe he (Craigslist founder Craig Newmark) and Monster and company are only waystations to a different future, a distributed future when these buyers and sellers won't need to come to a centralized marketplace b From

"What if I Did This as a Teacher?"
Got this e-mail today from one of the teachers at my school who has been sipping the blog Kool-Aid: Hey Will. I've been doing all this reading about weblogs and journalism for a research paper that's due Friday (for a graduate class I'm taking). As you know much of it goes into the value of transparency and news as a conversation. I began thinking about how I could use this with the Lamp and Journalism classes and things kind of went in a different direction. Bear with me here....
