Where can I find good info on the features and uses of exchanges, like bitfloor?

Having spent some hours reading this forum before deciding it was time to join, I'm now working to get my four additional hours and those first five posts.

Now that I'm registered, I find that all I'm doing is trying to learn enough to buy and sell, and that is involving chasing down and reading links all over the web, not so much here.

What I have not been able to find is a good description of how the exchanges work, all that bid, ask stuff, fees and whatever. A link would suffice, it's a lot to ask someone to type out a dissertation when there is most likely a wiki somewhere that I just haven't found.

I hate asking this kind of lazy looking question, but I've got a few posts to burn, so to speak.

10 minutes, one post left on my newbiedom!

Well, fellow newbies, it was lots of fun, I'll look for you again out in the big wide forum world.

Now that I'm graduating, (this is really exhilarating!) do I become a BitCoin God, or merely an Administrator?

My suggestion is to disregard the advice of others and "do" bitcoin your way. This is so new. There is no good advice yet.

Thank you.

Here, have a cigar.
