Significant Objects
The material culture studies students at Indiana and I have been engaged in a a very interesting if slow-motion research discussion of Etsy (Your place to buy and sell all things handmade. ™) and its extensions, such Regretsy (Where DIY meets WTF.) Adding to the conversation is Grant McCracken’s recent and interesting post on Meaning Manufacture, Old and New in which he discusses a remarkable project/site called Significant Objects.
