Lendables October 1, 2007
Posted by snadra in : Uncategorized, social , trackbackEven though it’s technically been around a while, my laziness and the temporary blog outage this year have contributed to my failure to announce to you all that we now have… “Lendables”
A new album has been added to the sack gallery called Lendables. This album contains photos of things that people own that are particularly likely to be borrowed by others. In other words, suppose you need a chafing dish for a party, but you don’t know who has one you can borrow? Or suppose you just got a new tile saw and are willing to loan it out to anyone who might need it? Lendables is the place that can let you do just that.
Since you probably only want to borrow from someone in your city, the main Lendables album is sub-divided into city albums. We have currently only set up Lexington, but we can easily create albums for any city with enough interest. Just ask snadra.
As a further security measure, the albums are all protected and are only viewable if you 1) are logged in and 2) have been granted access. This was done in order to avoid having Web strangers know of all the goodies that are sitting in your garage. Initial access has been given to some folks who we thought would use it… more access can easily be granted. Again, just ask snadra.
Once you get into an album to view its contents, you’ll see that items are grouped by category (ex: “Tools”, “Toys and Games”, and “Party supplies”). If you don’t see a category for what you need, feel free to create it. Please be sure to identify yourself as owner of the item and give a brief description of it. If you have any questions or problems… well, ask snadra
