Live-blogging from Netsquared: Freecycle.org Posted by takepartblogger on May 27, 2008 at 7:22 pm

Just heard an amazing story at the Netsquared conference:

(See earlier posts on the conference here and here.)

The story is about Freecycle.org, which bills itself as a “Cyber-curbside.” Give things away instead of throwing them away. Post an item about the thing you don’t want, and the person who does will show up at your door and pick it up.

  • In five years, it’s built up 5.1 million members
  • 40k new members per week
  • Cobbled together as an amalgamation of 4,000 Yahoo! groups
  • Chosen as a best-of site by Time magazine and P.C. Magazine.

Amazing part:

  • Has a staff of 1.

One. (His name’s Deron Beal. Read about him)
