Is there a downside to gift economies?

I learned a lot from Think progress as a model for organizational blogging. Cross-posted at BlogHer I noticed that you have lots of comments. It's provocative content that hits the pulse of your audience, as well as filling a necessary niche. The fight continues and our strength grows and that's the reason why I love this work.
