@Chris et al I actually did read that article and that's exactly where I hoped the convo would head. Since many of us are too fixated on first making the $$$ than running the idea isn't this the reason why these 'counter-intuitive' products will always out-do our models. Alex once gave us a Video done by Paul Graham on Start-Ups, which had a sort of provocative statement, 'don't worry about the money'. Is there space not to worry about the money here? Is it possible to complete a trade albeit online without breaking like 10 laws to do with taxation, advertising, licenses? Just wondering... On 9/3/09, Lmwangi <lmwangi@gmail.com> wrote:

Nail on the head, the problem is there's way too much inertia to change. I
mean look at the forum, how many people in this forum have posted an item? how about registering? The address is http://my.co.ke/phpbb/ How about http://jam.get.co.ke/ (and another microblog that was posted on the forum weeks ago) How about the local file sharing http://get.co.ke/ and a host of many good sites: http://www.dealer.co.ke/ http://www.zatiti.com/ http://www.chekelea.com/ ...
My 2 cents.
