KPBS Features Twoshirts.org In Article On The Changing Face Of Consumerism:

Twoshirts.org allows users to post items that they have and are willing to give away or items that they need. Jason Coker, the site's creator, says the site is about individuals sharing their extra stuff. He says bartering and trading is part of a bigger cultural trend stemming from the Internet and this trend will only grow with time due to the convenience and excitement created from it.

I have to admit, this was pretty cool. A few weeks ago we were contacted by Amanda, a student reporter for the local public radio station, about doing an article on alternative consumer internet sites like Craigslist, Freecycle, and Twoshirts. She called us at home and interviewed us for about twenty minutes, asking questions about how the site works and why we started it.

Check it out if you have a few minutes. There are a few quotes from both me and Jenell as well as other users from other sites doing similar things. Oh, and do me a favor. If you're a Facebook, Dig, or StumbleUpon user, be sure to tag the article!

"He says bartering and trading is part of a bigger cultural trend...."

This first time I read the word "bartering" above, I mixed up a letter or two then added a couple of other letters and read *bartending* LOL! I thought - "Well, ok. Whatever floats your boat but I'm pretty sure I read that wrong. As a matter of fact, I'm sure I did.".:-)

Nice article.:-)

I havent really seen this going on around me yet, maybe I just am not listening or reading enough, but a good way to get things done for Free too. I loved the article.
