SWAP MARKET
Via Wired Magazine comes the following report: “A Netflix-like system for trading your unwanted DVDs with others through the mail sounds like a cool idea. But in practice, you wind up with a stack of old discs that no one will take off your hands,” writes Katie Dean. “That’s been my experience with Peerflix, an online movie-swapping service that applies the principles of peer-to-peer file-sharing to physical DVDs.”
Equally well-meaning, but far more charming, is Parson’s School of Design MFA student Lina Fenequito’s Swap-O-Matic, which “allows users to reuse and recycle goods in person with the aid of a nearby internet-connected computer, mixing vintage ideas with modern technology.”
