The Internet as Bazaar
Like a street market in Marrakesh or Tangier or any Mid or Far Eastern public marketplace.Where there is constant clamour and commerce. Bargains and rip-offs , pickpockets and con men, thieves and bandits. But tucked away the clever little places that give genuine value, and sometimes secret knowledge. And sometimes just say they give secret knowledge.
But this is the worlds market place. So The world pushes and clamours through the stalls. And because the world is there, all the commerce goes there.
The big corporations with their shiny store front advertising and demos and give aways . The MUM and POP stores dealing with the their locals, the salesman, the newbie the clever ones, the experienced sellers in the best positions. The Shamwaa guy, the Dicer and Slicer pitchmen. The ‘come to my seminar’ pitchmen, the ‘no money down’, the Rich Dad poor Dad free seminar – (later the ’special seminar – only $45,00 dollars)
Everyone comes to this marketplace.
And its always selling. And there’s always noise and clamour, everyone shouting for you attention and the constant constant churn of commerce.
The constant churn of dollars.
Its all here.
And in the back alleys are the book stores and knolwedge stores with ancient scrolls of who-knows-what wisdom, and hidden even further in the recesses, the knock off and the special pirated versions, the illegal the incomprehensible.The unbelievable.
Its all here.
And at Free Speech corner the truly brilliant and truly crazy, both at the same volume. Both adamant. Your choice. Listen to one. listen to both. Quite wonderful. And sometimes quite frightening
And up front and glaring is of course the naked porn, and hidden behind sometimes, the not so nice porn, the children, the animals. But its all here.
And the University Course video booths, and the mucis and songs and sights play i booths and on huge billboards and soemtimes just in small hideaway corners.
And on every corner. The Google Map to tell you – “you are here” – and so are we.
And if you know where to go and who to ask for you will find true values unbeatable bargains. Amazing finds and treasures.Things you never dreamed of. Things you’ve always dreamed of.Its all here
And then there’s the sellers of stall space, the ones who will lead you to the perfect area for your pitch, given you the perfect display,the perfect stall – some turn key some not. But all perfect for you.Just you
Its all here.
The amzing, the incredible. The wonderful. The bizarre. The horrible. All here.
