My discovery of Web 2.0: Email Peering

Have you heard about the newest peer-to-peer-network? Called the US Postal Service (US Postal Service). The new generation of startups crosses Gnutella and Netflix with full compliance with the existing legislation (barter is legal in all 50 states). Users create lists "I want" and "I have": send someone one of the items from his "I want" list and you can choose something for yourself from his "I have" list (paying the transaction fee). It's slower than BitTorrent, but you get a real album - and not a bunch of mp3 and jpeg files.

4 services to exchange your trash for other trash:
