Answer to Question 1

In databases without boundaries, people outside the enterprise enter and manage most of the records. For example, Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.com, initially sought to help people in San Francisco find apartments and jobs. Craigslist is very customer-centric, and although the enterprise owns the database, the records are almost completely created by its customers. The site relies on the community of users-not just to generate all the ads, but also to reply privately to inquiries outside the Craigslist site. Compared to other websites with the same level of traffic, Craigslist employs extremely few people. Like other networking sites, this one provides a framework that works for a growing community of users who pay nothing to use it, and they are the ones who make it successful.

Answer to Question 2
