Who can you trust?

There is an article about the value of trusting the judgments of crowds. Digg, ebay, amazon all rely on users to give feedback about the sites. Problem is, people find fraud easy and they can get away with it.

I've always dreamed of a site where people can interact with other buyers and KNOW that the other buyers had actually worked with the sellers. It would have to entail a system of secret codes entered after the transaction had taken place. I feel this idea is coming although I doubt I'm the person to set it in motion.

No one has started an auction site for labor online either. I suppose the "employees" of the world need the employers to tell them what to do. Also people trust one companies to their homes. They might not trust the lowest price. Anyone can sell price.

Trust takes time!
