In my second video review this week, I went through the SwapRight.com website. They have a bit better user interface than Barterian did, the option of logging in with Facebook Connect, and an easier sign up process, but have the same problems that most of these barter startups have: no tools for hooking people up, [...]
I finally had a chance to sit down and review Barterian, a new online barter service. The logo is nice, the interface is stark and boring, the usability factor is very low. I gave them a C overall because they are just average in the scale of what internet barter has become. Not great. Not [...]

Our first video site review! Plan on seeing more of these in the future. Asset Fair is an exchange system for property, services, and debt. From their site: In today’s world of financial challenges, it makes sense to use the barter (cash-free) exchange system – the earliest form of trading – when looking to dispose [...]
The first time I attempted to register for superfluid.biz, the server timed out…let’s see how it goes this time. Superfluid.biz is a traditional style barter exchange, with an online flavor.
