CommunityLend.com Gets Fresh Coat of Paint

By mesh news

Only time will tell whether Canadians embrace peer-to-peer lending as enthusiastically as consumers in the U.K. and the U.S. but Toronto-based CommunityLend’s new and improved Web site is impressive – clean, sharp, easy to navigate. Given that educating consumers is going to be a significant challenge, CommunityLend’s Web site will clearly be an important marketing and sales.

We’re excited that Michael Garrity, CommunityLend’s co-founder, president and CEO, will be participating at mesh one of our marketing panels. Given his experience, which includes being vice-president of sales and marketing with ePost, Mike is sure to provide some valuable insight.

Cory Doctorow: Matt Mason “just nails it”

By mesh08 news

Here’s a nice comment by Cory on a presentation by Matt Mason, one of our mesh08 keynotes, at the Medici Summit:

Matt’s spiel is great, and for the first 30-or-so minutes, I found myself just nodding along as he expressed — eloquently and delightfully — things I’d heard others like Lessig, Barlow (and me!) say. But then he got to his kicker, and I sat up, electrified: “The best way to profit from pirates is to copy them.”This is one of those eloquent little aphorisms — like Tim O’Reilly’s “The problem for artists isn’t piracy, it’s obscurity” — that just nails it. 

(The video link seems to be dead now, but there are loads of other references to Matt, including video, on the web.)
