Take a close look at the sites: Craigslist, Jim Breen, and ymshimazu's sites. What do they share in common?  You'd think you'd stepped into a time machine that has shot you back to the Web's pre-commercial days?  Mosaic, NCSA, Marc Andreessen?  There are no fancy graphics. No flashy animation. No banner ads. There's hardly even color. It has all the appeal of an elementary school mimeograph. And that's by design. Stay true to its original "populist values” that draw people together. Online communities change over time.  Simple and fast is good,  Craig Newmark agrees, because it makes the site easy to use. This practice will help people make life easy. And provide a culture of trust, one that's very useful and very effective.  "Ostentation and ornamentation are disdained as vulgar, and simplicity and understatement considered as signs of sophistication (Zen)."   Prajna. 円融三諦  Are you addicted or rapidly tumbling toward trouble?
