Tim O'Reilly's Post-Apocalyptic Pants2Pants
During the Gold Rush, some prospectors got rich quick and some didn't. Levi Strauss got rich slow by selling everyone a pair of pants, which you need, gold or no gold. Getting into today's Peer-to-Peer rush without going to Tim O'Reilly's conference is like trying to mine gold with no pants on. Even though peer-to-peer as a business model makes about as much sense as a gold rush in a minefield, people are sure going to go through a lot of pants that way.
