       One of life’s persistent questions: why there is not an amazing app for reuse and giving away stuff, globally. Instead there is a long list of mediocre apps/communities with poor branding all trying to do different things in different places. #waste #reuse

       @Janetgunter been talking about this with people alot lately and it's something closely related to the work of #OHN and maybe even #ValueFlows collectively agreeing on a semantic standardized way to describe the needs and wants of people connected to physical objects could bring us closer to this dream.

       @liaizon @Janetgunter it's not free stuff, but I keep thinking about how useful a shared inventory could be for small businesses in the same area. Auto parts stores do this ("we don't have the part, but our competitor across town does") and we should extend it. It could help shore up local business against Amazon.
