NoLongerNeedIt.com posted a video on YouTube today that led me to them. They are another of the standard one-to-one barter websites we have seen so many of in the last year. This one looks to be a little busy, and perhaps will do a better job than others in hooking people up. I haven’t had [...]
FavorPals, a new internet barter startup that I have yet to review, released the following statement. Can you imagine a world without money? It starts by tapping the power of collective cooperation and letting people, both locally and around the world, exchange services for other goods and services. As the world’s leading free online bartering [...]
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 [...]
In another in our series of video reviews, we take a good look at tribarter.com, one of the newest barter sites. Our findings support a theory we are discovering: most people don’t take the time to figure out how to get customers to barter before building a web site. We’ll show you what we mean [...]

According to the site, ” We believe a bonanza of fruits, vegetables, fresh herbs and more are found right in your own backyard—and [...]
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. They call their barter dollars Quids. This time when I registered, it gave me notice that I would be sent a confirmation email. This is [...]
At the request of the owners of JavoTrade.com, whom I mentioned here a little while ago, I am going to spend some time today digging around their site and at the same time write a play-by-play here. The site is done up in a bright blue, which is an internet standard…for me it’s a little [...]
Found another internet barter startup today at www.bandywagon.org. According to the site, “Bandywagon is a private bartering network for startups, small businesses and nonprofits. We facilitate the acquisition of products and services through our email list, membership network and consultations.”
I saw a new barter start up thanks to Twitter this wee: Trade School (tradeschool.ourgoods.org). According to the site, “Take a class every night with a range of specialized teachers in exchange for basic items and services. Secure a spot in a Trade School class by meeting one of the teacher’s barter needs.” According to [...]
