In response to all the postings about Internet "commerce" i.e., internet
postings of people's businesses, if you really want to see where it all
stems from, take a look
at this month's(April 1995) SMART MONEY magazine. There's an article
titled "Will We ever Leave the House Again?"( by Jean Sherman Chatzky) and
it's pretty scary how these folks are saying "go ahead, post your heart
out' and making it sound perfectly lovely to go out and plaster the nets
with ads. Also,when a magazine uses a quote like "The people in these
newsgroups, they can't stop buying" (Mark Caudill)  it gives the
impression that you can "post away" to your heart's content.
I like Matt's idea of special advertising areas on the nets, and they have
already begun to appear. Let's hope this trend continues, maybe an
capdist.ads group can be created. But I still think everyone went a little
crazy flaming the avon lady. Maybe I'm just a softie.
