craiglist

I think that what Putnam and Feldstein are trying to argue is that craigslist is a physical community even though its like an online resource cite. At first when reading this article, when they were describing craigslist I felt like it reminded me of a newspaper advertisement section but it's really much more than that. Its a place where people can find a job, meet significant others, sell items, create clubs, and many other things. I would have to agree with Putnam and Feldstein that craigslist is a community even though it has alot of small communities inside this big community which I think makes it unique.

Response for Wednesday: Craigslist

Evaluate Putnam and Feldstein's argument concerning Craigslist. (1) Identify their thesis (what argument are they making?), (2) Discuss whether or not you agree, explaining why. You'll be able to better evaluate their argument by visiting the site, http://www.craigslist.org.
