That teacher may or may not "know" what a blog is, but I am sure they have visited one or two sites which have indeed been a blog. In addition, whether users know what RSS is or what a Tag is, when they view categories generated from tags or content syndicated by converged RSS feeds, that teacher is indeed using this technology which they may know know the name of.
Technology these days has two users. The publisher, or distributor, and those consuming the technology. It is extremely important to differentiate against the two. Whereby, the distributor who is of course the minority, will serve 80% majority being the consumers. Consumers will be better off with advanced syndication technologies such as this, as distributors will be equiped with better tools to create, which consequently equips consumers with better content to absorb.

Isn't this kind of "architecture" going to make it easier for discriminatory and/or fraudulent posts to get a wider distribution than they would on Craigslist?

seriously how many people maintain blogs, and how many of them (who has blogs) post their classifieds in their blogs
better idea might be develop IE/Mozilla classified listing tool bar, give out $5 to download or something and people can click on the tool bar to list the classified (another model is oodle, but again craigslist banned them crawling the site, limited lifetime if all the websites ban oodle crawling)
forget about blogs, tags...all this web 2.0 mania, joe next door does not understand all these things to sell used tv!!
