I stumbled on this interesting concept. A guy out there in the blogosphere is helping put neat domain names in touch with folks who might need them to promote their products or services.
Now, why do I like this idea? Because it fits with the whole: everyone is a producer and the net is an open marketplace. Said another way: I like that there are still ways in which clever people don’t need permission to make a living.
Open source. Open community. Open anything. I think it’s neato.
If you *really* want to blow your mind with thoughts of where the web is going, check out this article by Kevin Kelly on Wired about where the web is going, etc. (If you want to get to the good stuff, skip to where it says 2005).
I’m arguing this stuff at work lately. I’m hoping to get the open source movement and the idea of our platform as a marketplace system out there. It’s where lots of companies are spending their meat. In the interface realm. (If this is sounding like “WTF” to you, then disregard. I’ll probably talk about running on Sunday). : )
