    It really seems like, for the "millions" of people that are online, the "millions" choose what is easy, most efficient, and, at this point, proven (like Craigslist) over things that seem complicated and ask too much of us (putting up an ad and *then* having the responsibility of tagging it in the *right* way.)

    It all may come down to what I'm learning about web 2.0: we come here to find things, to interact with each other, and to be entertained--in different proportions at different times and often in our spare time. If we don't have time to figure something out, we just go away. Edgeio took too much time to figure out--so, we went away. And, without us, even the best idea won't fly.
