neigh*borrow and social media are a natural fit. There is a resurgence of community groups that are actively borrowing and lending locally, on Facebook. These groups are in Seattle, Houston, The Bay Area, Pittsburgh, Shreveport, British Columbia and more.
All groups enjoy $100 per transaction in lender insurance from day one. The mayors of each group earn credits as the group grows. For example, after the first 50 members -we will buy you anything LENDABLE, to circulate in the group - when it is not used, it's yours.
Our experiments have proven that most of you don't want to list everything you own, even if we make it really easy! So the onus is on people who are requesting things to ask, and post a photo of what they need. If you have it - you just comment on the listing and you are covered, automatically, up to $100!
