Project Description
I have chosen to focus on the new media technology Ebay. Deciding whether this new media technology is actually a community or bazaar would be difficult. However in this paper I would be focusing on how Ebay functions as a community that strives by providing services to one another. Unlike a bazaar, customers of a product can review on the quality and services provided to them. The presence of servicing differentiates a community from a bazaar that is merely a marketplace. This particular media technology, which also has a few basic marketplace characteristics, is the beginning of a new style of media that focuses on the individual.
