Try something new this weekend with NeighborGoods

2010-07-23T12:31:31-07:00

Got big plans this weekend? Maybe a beach picnic or a hike in the woods? Whatever your plans, you can borrow what you need to have an awesome summer weekend on NeighborGoods. Consider borrowing something you've never tried before. Ever want to take up surfing? We have 6 surfboards currently listed on NeighborGoods including this sweet long board. If you can't find one near you, add it to your wishlist so your neighbors can hook you up. You can borrow tennis rackets and even tennis partners! How about rock climbing? You can borrow gear for that too! Maybe you're feeling a little less adventurous and you'd like to get crafty this weekend. We've got 40 sewing machines in the inventory to choose from! There's probably one near you! Not sure what you want to do? Browse the inventory near you. I'm sure you'll find something fun to try. Have a great weekend!

In case you missed it, I did my first LIVE radio interview on Saturday on KPFK! It was really great talking with Ric and Doran. They host a great show and they really dug deeply into the meaning and impact of NeighborGoods which was super fun. Plus I got to wear those cool headphones! If you missed it and you'd like to hear, you can listen online at DigitalVillage.org.

A heartfelt thanks for our neighbors!

It's been a week and a half since our national launch and I'm writing to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making it such a huge success. I'm sure you've noticed your neighborhood growing around you! In fact, we've welcomed thousands of new neighbors and inventory items this week! The support from the press has been amazing too! We've been featured on some of our favorite sites including BoingBoing, Lifehacker, TechCrunch and Shareable. We're humbled and amazed by the response from communities across the country. So we thank you, our growing network of neighbors. We thank you for taking a step toward improving your neighborhood by sharing your stuff on NeighborGoods. Speaking of your neighborhood, the more folks sign up around you, the better your sharing experience will be. So if you haven't already, be sure to invite your friends to share with you. That way when you need to borrow a back yard cinema kit or some egg-laying chickens, you'll be able to find them near you. Again, thanks so much for being the awesome neighbors that you are!

NeighborGoods launches nationally today!

2010-06-30T08:45:49-07:00

Big news today, neighbors! We learned a lot during our test run in SoCal. With the help of our members' thoughtful feedback and support, we re-designed the entire service and opened the doors to everyone in the US! Here's what you can expect:

Simpler design with personalized dashboard
Easier process to add items (like one click!)
Improved discovery of people and items near you

Check out our FAQs for more details on what's new. Here's what you can do: The most common bit of feedback we get is, "I wish there were more people near me to share with." Now that NeighborGoods is open nationally, we're counting on you to invite your friends. We've made that easier with the re-design including automatically connecting to your Facebook, Twitter and email accounts if you like. So log in today and invite your friends! We'd like to send a heartfelt thanks to our earliest supporters. You have set the course for this community which we are very proud to launch today. Thank you for supporting our mission to help neighbors live more sustainable and connected lives. Check out the official press release: NeighborGoods Ushers in the Post-Consumer Economy Helping Americans Save Money and Resources by Borrowing, Lending and Renting Instead of Buying New And spread the word!
