In any household there are unnecessary and rarely used items. And if the first one can donate, sell or throw away, you do so with things occasionally necessary, the hand is not raised. Sadly, they are in the closet and wait sometimes for years, for the hour. At the same time, gathering dust in a closet drill, baby stroller, time is irrelevant, or a ladder, waiting for the next repair, can serve you, and in this period. Around there are always people who need certain things. And, if you can help to meet them, it will be good for everyone: for the owner of a thing (it temporarily to attach it in good hands, free or for a fee) for your countryman (he does not need to buy one now), and of course to an intermediary who helped you for a modest fee to find each other. It was reasoned Mickey Krimmel (Micki Krimmel), founder of Neighborgood, which will be discussed.
Service is an online community, whose members post information about items that are ready to share with others. You can choose whether all interested persons will be available to your stuff, or just trusted friends. You are also free to choose, to appoint a fee for the rental of the lot or limited by gratitude, hoping in the future as free rent his thing.
Neighborgood site has tools for communication between users, Lent and rent things, a reminder of the need to return. Convenient possibility of merging parties in interest groups, place of residence, place of work, etc. Unfortunately, the company is not involved in the analysis of possible unpleasant situations with corrupted or non-return of things, but it helps to evaluate the trustworthiness of participants, tracking their "rolling history" and keeping score. In addition, the site has a panic button for the "emergency situation" with the tenant. Button gives everyone a signal that such a person is no different decency.
Today Neighborgood being tested, but the database is already filled with suggestions of stuff, like tools, bikes, appliances, furniture, travel gear. Most of all users until the Los Angeles area.
To join the rental service is temporarily useless things only need to register. The period of promotion service is free, then plan to introduce subscription fee.
Neighborgood - simple in its idea, useful for the users of the project, which implies a level of trust between people. However, the lack thereof, can be compensated for the key thing leased. It is hardly an ordinary party rental service, without informing rent "on stream", can make this a lot, but he will get a good opportunity to make friends with your neighbors and make new useful contacts.
