Mashape
Augusto Marietti, Business Sniper

GoodNewsForPolarBears.org
Dave Ingram, Founder

I loved Freecycle but I stopped using it because I got too much email for irrelevant stuff. Why couldn't Freecycle be more like ebay; but for free stuff. We set out to create a 'better freecycle' with images, a better search, location maps, feedback, alerts, and more. Instead of 'bidding', you say you 'want it', then the giver chooses the winner on merit. http://goodnewsforpol...
