@dsearls @patrick_s_smart @ClimateByHarryG @NeilSalter4 @Ostrom_Workshop @IUBloomington @citybloomington @VRM @CustomerCommons @BKCHarvard The original e-commerce was closer to the Customer Commons model than to the Big Tech system

- terms and config file live on the customer's workstation
- format of order is set by code running under control of the customer

What is the real problem with the industry?
Check out the recent case study that I did for @CustomerCommons on the lack of consumer control in real estate

And thus we announced a gigantic new world-changing project. Not the way we planned, but maybe this was better. :-)

In a real estate conversation: "We're talking about a market-way, rather than a market-place. It's still a market, just not placed on platforms." If you want to be in this conversation, and de-cartelize real estate, come to https://t.co/UA3jGSHobt, on 19 April. HT @RealEstateCafe

@robmv @brave We don’t use Google Account-keyed service APIs, we stub/strip out all the Chromium (since 2016 privacy policy revision & 2018 opt-out not -in change) login-tied tracking. See https://t.co/nr2EejOjAZ.

#COVID19 surfaced disparities, lack of data, politics, and just plain bad outcomes in US healthcare. Post-pandemic, will we continue to overspend $1T on US healthcare?

Of course we will!

@MissIG_Geek While you're at it, how about helping us reverse the tide by having sites and services comply to *our* terms? For example, this one: https://t.co/QM3YNLc5mR HTs: https://t.co/QoAPGwLnh5 https://t.co/Tyxtp1zSMB @VRM

@DeanLand Either, but I lean toward no comma. You can also lean toward no space if you want to make butno a word. Bonus: #butno.

How about business solutions of customers' own, rather than ones only for businesses? https://t.co/QSvq736oFm

@msweezey @dsearls Exactly. We also need what only customers can do: https://t.co/Ajir7as7y2. Note the call to action at the end. Allies in the effort: @VRM, @Me2BAlliance, @MyData.org.

Know any businesses that have been saved (or are being saved) by its customers? Let us know, by comment or DM.

@simongterry I get that permission based marketing is OK but over exercising that permission becomes nauseating to the recipient. I advocate for @CustomerCommons were folk have parity when dealing with business.
