USE don’t BUY

It goes without saying that a newly-born demands a lot of money. However most of the stuff we invested in  will be used for a very short period of time. Babies do grow very fast. It’s a waste not to use those things furthermore or to buy new stuff all the time. Babies outgrow clothes within a month max, a baby phone won’t be needed forever and then all the books and age-appropriate educational toys...

In fact, how well do we know, what the closets, attics and basements of the members of the parents‘ forums and communities have to offer? Wouldn‘t it be nice if there were kind of an online storage, where one could offer toys and clothes one’s kids have outgrown, so that others could borrow or share and at the same time see what others have to offer.

I even tried to find any already existing solutions. But this way I have only encountered a range of online flea markets.Therefore I decided to turn to my geek friends with this idea. Together we have createdLinkLink, a smartphone app for Android & iOS,  which allows you to: 1. Create a group of trusted friends and share only with them. 2. Identify who is contacting you through a six hand graph (apparently we are connected to anyone on Earth through just six people). By analyzing your phone book,LinkLink helps you to see which circle of friends this person belongs to.

Understanding who is in front of you - a friend, a friend of a friend or an acquaintance of a friend - an owner of an item can make a deliberate decision. And what‘s more - everything‘s accounted. USARIUM remembers whom, when and under which conditions the item has been rented out to and reminds the counterpart about it. Add what you have, see what others have to offer. USE, don‘t buy!  Visit Usarium for more information:LinkLink
