More 2.0...Etsy (#18 & 19)

Enough about wikis, spreadsheets etc. I cut right to the fun stuff (for me) and explored Etsy. Etsy is "your place to buy and sell all things handmade". This site is well organized and has some funky ways to search - like by color, showcase, price range, in addition to a decent, linked category listing. There's a community section, a blog etc. There is a small fee for selling items through the site, and sellers need to set up an account, but all terms/conditions/requirements are clearly spelled out. Can we use this in the library? Probably not, unless we find inspiration for craft programs.

I did the Artwalk on Ravenswood this Saturday - lots of open studios and lots of Etsy talk!
