The Culture of the Internet and Online Communities

A fascinating talk by CEO Jim Buckmaster.  The internet listings site has over 6 billion page views and over 10 million new classified ads per month.  It is the leading classifieds service in any medium.  Yet the site retains its public service mission, non-corporate approach and staff of just 23.  The site has no advertising and receives revenue only from jobs/property listings in some cities.

Brunch
Venue: The Apartment  7-13 Barclay Place, Bruntsfield
“This is a good venue for an eating-out experience: as much care and attention is paid to the pastry on the pineapple tarte tatin as the easy-going soundtrack and kitten-soft lighting, and it shows. The effect is warm and satisfying and, as the name suggests, a bit like hanging out in a very stylish friend's pad".  That's what The List's reviewer had to say and we quite agree!  I would only add that the service was attentive, friendly and almost as appealing as the perfectly cooked wild mushroom risotto I ordered.
