There has been a lot of talk recently about the concept of Xpertweb -- a way for people to offer their services and for others to know what kind of service to expect. The idea boasts some really features like:
- lack of a centralized authority
- validation and verification
- aggregation by anyone
And all this happens peer to peer and in the public. Reputation becomes everything.
Check out Britt Blaser, Flemming Funch and Mitch Ratcliffe who all do a great job job explaining it a little clearer. I think these are really neat ideas at work here.
