publishing space alongside our most seasoned writers; citizen shoppers join the 
ranks of Consumer Reports; and classmates create friend groups with the scope 
and influence of master networkers. Interning at Ziggs has allowed me to 
experience a striking offline parallel to the culture of the new Web in which 
amateurs are immediately granted an all access pass to participate on a 
meaningful level with top professionals. I joined Ziggs while the company was in 
the midst of launching the Ziggs Hub. The culture of transparency and 
across-the-board participation that rules the Web was immediately palpable when 
I was offered a seat at the table at company planning meetings and encouraged to 
digest and contribute to new business and marketing developments. </SPAN><BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ziggs.blogspot.com/">the Web today still feels like the wild west of the business world.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ziggs.blogspot.com/"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial">this open-source,
