We’ve got some tough choices to make
While we have a lot of support, the core Bureau team is myself and Lori Averitt. When more membership money started coming in I thought maybe we should grow the team so we can do more. But once we had the results from the Better Bureau Survey I realized I was looking at it wrong. We need to focus our time on what gives Bureau members the most value vs. figuring out how to keep doing all the things at a bigger scale. So here is some of what we’re rethinking.

What Does Web 3.0 Mean For Us?
The web is a funny place, and I don’t just mean cat memes (but yes, I do also mean cat memes). It’s weird to buy a couch online and then get nothing but couch ads for weeks like you needed a second one. Or say something online and suddenly have a mob of people show up to tell you you're wrong when you were just talking about cats on a couch memes.
I'm new to taking Web 3.0 seriously so I truly welcome others to help educate me. But here's how I understand it.
Web 1.0 was the democratization of information
Web 2.0 was the democratization of content creation and community
Web 3.0 is the democratization of the internet itself
Could Web3 be the salvation of the web? And what's our role in making that happen? Read on and let's see! -

Beware of the Broker Feeding Frenzy
I was talking with David C. Baker the other day about the high amount of webshops that are for sale right now. I’ve been in the digital services space for over 20 years and there has never been anything like this in our industry. He’s seeing the same surge and we dug into some of the challenges owners are facing. Should they sell? How do they determine their value? What are the first steps in the process? This level of interest with a lack of experience in selling a business means many of us have to be careful.
