Folks I gotta tell you, it’s really awesome, you have to try it. Click on the picture below, and let us know what you think! Maybe I’ll see you at an event in your town soon!
‘New York City Events – Find Local Events in your City for this Weekend!’
Zaarly helps you buy and sell things with people who live in your local community. From what I’ve seen of it, it allows you to request services or goods from people living near you, and how much you’re willing to pay to get them. And it also allows you to advertise yourself as the goods or services provider, so you can earn some extra cash too.
It seems like a good idea, but depends on how many people in your area pick up the service. If you agree, I suggest signing up and getting started; you could rise to the top of the local rankings in no time! Watch the really, really.. really… happy lady in Zaarly’s introduction video below to see just how you can use Zaarly.
TwoSides is a great concept: A social debating platform. You see views from every side of an issue and compare viewpoints with others. It’s a concept for a new world, where people are more informed, open-minded, and tolerant. And the good news is, it works really beautifully. I’ve been busy reading a number of surprisingly mature arguments on some rather contentious issues on there, and I also enjoy wading in with my two cents every now and again as well.
My only concern for the site is that it really has to be moderated very carefully, especially when it becomes more widely used (which I think it really should be, because it’s brilliant!). I would worry that more extreme viewpoints would be given their head, and that debates turn into hate-filled dramas. However, maybe that’s another debate for the site’s users to give their input to!
Be sure to check out TwoSides’ awesome feature on the 2012 US Presidential Elections while you’re looking around too: It allows you to compare candidates to see whose views you most coincide with!
Coffee & Power – So I was leaving the AllMyFaves Towers the other day, after a hard day’s work discovering the internet for all you lucky readers, but instead of feeling relieved that I could go home and relax, I just felt stressed! Stressed that I had a million and one small jobs to do before I could sit with my hot chocolate in front of the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. Today, however, those of you who feel the same way can rejoice:
Coffee & Power is an online marketplace where people can literally sell their small jobs – from errands/deliveries; expertise on tap; teaching and coaching; to software building – for a small amount of money to other users! And if you fancy making some extra cash, you can use Coffee & Power to do small jobs too.
