A couple more interesting websites have popped into the yours2share inbox in the last few days and I thought I’d share them with you. Firstly there is Collaborative Consumption which is publicising the imminent arrival of a new book about sharing and the ways in which people share stuff. The other website is Ecoboom, a friendly [...] Eco Chic followed me on Twitter earlier today and, as you do, I went to see who they are. I’m delighted to see an eco friendly website that doesn’t perpetually ram home the cycling, recycling, hair shirt existence (I know this isn’t fair, but sometimes it can feel that way). You can enjoy the good [...] Whenever I’ve spoken to the Financial Times, or other publications aimed at people earning higher salaries, about yours2share and sharing in general, I’ve tended to get a fairly sniffy response.

The articles are written by Janelle Orsi the author of a new book The Sharing Solution.

As the number of private syndicates that were helped by yours2share increased, I also became aware that if as the number of partners in a private syndicates increases substantially, it becomes a [...] Do you share a house, car, motorhome, boat, aircraft dog, horse or anything else? I’m always looking for examples of sharing in action to blog about on yours2share and, if they are really good and two or more partners are willing to be interviewed, for case studies. If you are happy to tell me about [...] This article about rental websites in the Boston Globe came to my attention today.

As the article says: But the biggest challenge may be cultural. Americans are accustomed to having many [...] |
