School of Everything

Wow…this is amazing.  From Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing:

“Last night, I attended the launch of School of Everything, a new web service that acts as a kind of eBay for people who have something to teach. Potential teachers list their areas of expertise (anything from knitting to programming to driving to yoga to TIG-welding to whatever) and potential students find teachers with a simple search that can be geography bounded (for in-person instruction) or not (for online instruction). It’s one of those great, simple, smart ideas that make you want to smack your head and say, "Why didn’t I think of that?”“
