Ag tourism and an update on local eating.

Agricultural tourism? Great idea!

We can turn the canals of South Florida into tropical landscapes. People will think of the suburbs as a tropical Venice. People can rent kayaks or paddle boats. I can be a dreamer at times, I know.

We have a lot in South Florida.

I'm still planning my banana/lychee/mango/orange/avocado/calomandon garden is moving along. Basically I'd like to begin installing within a month.

Take care, all. Doesn't get much more local than that.

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!
