Let the Rebellion Begin
September 25th, 2006LendList.org is a rebellion against materialism and consumerism. We rebel by lending. We think lending is good. We think it is a better way to live. The lender gets more use out of their items, reduces their attachment to their material possessions, and helps out the borrower. The borrower saves money and the environment by not buying something they don’t need to buy.
LendList.org exists to make lending items easier. It makes it easier to let your friends, neighbors, and fellow group members know what you have available to them. It makes tracking who has what easier. And it makes learning about what you have available to borrow easier.
LendList.org forgoes the complicated. No credits. No friendship approvals. No messaging systems. You lend and borrow items offline the way you normally would. We just make learning what’s available and tracking it easier.
More in Store Stay tuned for updates on the progress of the application, stories on the revolution we hope it fosters, and comments on our consumer culture.

Great idea, looks like this will be a local community service based, so I recommend using Google Map API and people can search their neighborhoods to find available items for rent.
Good luck

People will be able to sort items available by distance from them. Items aren’t for rent though. The service is about the free lending of items to friends and neighbors.

[…] Lend List If you haven’t register yet you got to go to Lend List. It is a cool new way of lending your material things or lending others. It is an effort to cut down on consumerism. Check out the Lend List blog Lisa and I went to the kick-off party for the web site. It was our web site kick off party. Unfortunately, we arrived late because we were at Missions Fest with kids from church. We were there for the last 30 mins. of the festivities. I am so excited about this site. Start your lend list today. […]
