Keep in mind that most of the economy is made up of large scale, boring and annoying products and services. Wing-nuts, gin-su knives, the clapper, its all crap but it makes the world go round. I applaud the migration of 'boring' humdrum daily economic transactions to the web. It gives the elitists the motivation to invent the next great thing, just to maintain their exoteric stature, the drive to be different than the mainstream. When geeks are the mainstream, whats a smart guy to do but become a mega-geek. Ha ha, nobody can catch me now....!
