Checkout a neighbourhood sharing startup myself and a great team are working on at Ottawa Startup Weekend. The basic idea is neighbourhoods want to share and create a community around the space they take care of. We let neighbourhoods share high priced items like snow blowers, lawnmowers, gardening supplies, camping gear etc. with their neighbours in return for borrowing their stuff. Take a look at us at http://signup.moochable.co or fill in a survey at http://app.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/josh-m2/community-sharing-website/. Any advice or questions are appreciated.
Moochable - Share. Care. Grow
