This is why the Internet is important: Inheritance Jewelry

3 Comments

My friend Danie­lle makes really awe­some jewelry. And now she has her own web­site, Inhe­ri­tance Jewelry.

OK, gran­ted, the web­site could use some work design-wise, but it’s still early days, she’s new to this world…

This is what Web 2.0 REALLY means to me, why it’s REALLY important.

It allows a young woman like Danie­lle to follow her dreams, without having to take out a loan, without having to sign a lease with some rich land­lord in some expen­sive neighborhood.

This is why the web needs to stay open…

Go, Danie­lle, Go! Rock on.

   Com­ple­tely agree — and it’s why I’m enjo­ying wor­king with a com­pany called Jigoshop at the moment. They make a really nice and free eCom­merce solu­tion for Word­Press (Which is also open source)…

   Besi­des the fact the team there are great, I star­ted doing a weekly show­case of busi­nes­ses using Jigoshop, and there are some ama­zing crafts­men and artists in there. And the url, the data, the analy­tics, everything is owned by them, rather than paying a third party for a storefront…

   The big­gest issue is around dis­co­very, recom­men­da­tions and fil­ters, but we’re all get­ting there, as long as the web isn’t clo­sed before we reach a ‘good enough’ solution…

   Con­fir­med. Holds true for pre-maturely dis­per­sed elders as well
