Uppity Wisconsin

is a lot like what's happened with eBay. Once upon a time, eBay was this place where you could go and actually get a deal on something like a macrame owl wall hanging from a nice old lady in Nebraska. There weren't eBay "sellers" or people who literally made a career off selling wholesale goods on the site. It was just regular people hosting the world's largest garage sale.

The Internet used to be like this too. There was less commercial regulation and more "stuff" just out there, posted by regular people who wanted to share what they knew with everyone else. What the hell happened? That's what I'm at this conference to ponder. Not find out. If I could do that, I need to be making a lot more money.

Like Josh Silver said, "The future of the media does not belong to Rupert Murdoch. It belongs to us." So, let's take it back people! I want to buy a macrame owl hanging for $2 again!
