A lesson from POiU

A lesson from POiU

Because I have spent weeks studying the POiU concept, I feel like I have to right to share my judgment of them. I have had some revalations about it, that hadn't occured to me at first, and my perspective has had a rather radical change. In fact, my first impression of POiU is that they are the saviour of business, and the rescuers of the countries economically stranded by the rest of the world. Now I see my errors. POiU is a way to stimulate exchange, and free up capital for more purchasing power, which sounds great from a capitalist's perspective, but what about an environmentalist's? Every product that gets pumped into our markets, is a nail in the coffin of our atmosphere, our environment, and our sustainable plans. I think that online communities are the future, but if they are promoting todays laxidasical environmental efforts, I say they cost way to much.

While I was researching Poiu, I found that I had some obvious first impressions.

• What does this say about confidence in the dollar?
• In a way, this just highlights how we are on the brink of a economic meltdown.
• The sense of community is a large drawing factor for POiU, but can it be relied on?
• If we are to solve these problems that got us here, our communities should be based around commerce and education, not just commerce.
• POiU is the first in an innovative design for commerce, but until we fix our goods and services, increased commerce is going to hurt our environments.
• If Cloud+Classroom can do a similar exchange, perhaps we can afford to offer the tools for education, along with the chance at offering ones skills.
