One single market is really hard to get traction with, but you can start out with a proof of concept. What you need is to use global namespaces (URIs) and to federate the different sites together. A global system can scale to federate with several local systems, but it's very hard to scale a local system to become global. The nice thing about the web is that you can have different people specializing in different things. e.g. some people make blogs, technorati makes a blog search, some people make web pages, google allows search etc. > > > 2012/2/7 Mark Janssen <dreamingforward@gmail.com> >> >> >> >> On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 10:09 AM, Melvin Carvalho >> <melvincarvalho@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> On 7 February 2012 17:57, Mark Janssen <dreamingforward@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> > On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 7:03 AM, Melvin Carvalho >>> > <melvincarvalho@gmail.com> >>> > wrote: >>> >> >>> >> On 7 February 2012 14:57, Markus Sabadello >>> >> <markus.sabadello@gmail.com> >>> >> wrote: >>> >> > Would we really need a (centralized) market, or could we just >>> >> > broadcast >>> >> > wishes and offers through a P2P network? >>> >> >>> > I think I have a solution for this.
