One of the interesting people I did not get to meet at SXSW was Sean Coon of Connecting The Dots. Tag-daddy Thomas Vander Wal told him to ping me about his new project, The People's Eyes :

[via thepeopleyes / Introduction]:

We're creating a platform to enable people who are interested in sharing their personal experiences and POV's with the world via a collaborative blog. As participation grows, and the blog gains a greater footprint in the conscious of the web, we plan on devising a CPM advertising model to provide a return to each individual participant.

100% of the revenue will go directly into the hands of the individual contributers.

I think this is a real interesting project that deserves more attention. Sean is looking for help with incorporating as a non-profit organization and that's why he needs all the pro-bono help he can get.

Here's the deal though : I have had more than one blogger asking me for legal referrals. I am going to ping Jeralyn Merrit with this one, but seriously, for up-and-coming lawyers, there is a market there for per-diem work with bloggers of all kinds, especially with issues of incorporation, trademark and contract negotiation.
