And a sprinkle of carbon dust

I think Jon Udell must be channeling Neal Stephenson. Except...he aint dead.
Seriously, Jon's MTurk tutors sound so much like Stephenson's ractors in every way that means anything. You have to wonder though if education is really the economic force that lifts this kind of paid interactivity off the ground - vs. the world's oldest profession which seems the prime driver in The Diamond Age.
