Zaadz Became Gaia (and we survived)

My Gaia Online Community Blog:
Gaiadotcom began life as "Zaadz" which is Dutch for seeds. Zaadz had quickly developed into the most profound online community I participated in. When Gaiam bought Zaadz last year we (bonded online friends) were concerned they would use our goodwill for commercial gain(!) but they are proving good stewards of a precious space.
