Great ideas. I'm particularly impressed with the term "web 3d". The PR will just roll in -- especially in "today's economy" -- press will love to discuss Americans who actually (1) make things and (2) sell those things.

I've had a very nebulous idea that's been percolating in my mind: software designed for small machine shops to organize their work. It never occurred to me to organize hobby folk. awesome.

Yeah I see a lot of reporters going gaga over Web 3.D because of the physical production aspect and the way it fits in with the whole numbering scheme. I see as many readers of this site rolling their eyes though.
