What we are talking about is in my point of view a democratisation of production. In our time with iron hard focus on internet, let’s not forget the majority who still has no internet connection. Many of these people are skilled crafters and crazy artists with very rich traditions. Maybe we have something to learn from them? And we give a blog. How special can we be? What is fashion?

Access to the internet is definitely essential if you want to sell stuff online. I think producers in the non-urban and developing areas will particularly benefit from marketplaces like eBay and etsy - and free identifiers like thinglink.
