[Wolves] OT: Wolves Freecycle launch

[Rob Annable]

Myself, Sparkes and Matthew have finally gone live with a project
we've been threatening to get off the ground for months - the
Wolverhampton Freecycle initiative. Here's the site:

http://wolvesfreecycle.org.uk

For anyone new to the freecycle idea (it's been up and running in the
US for about a year I think) it's about swapping and giving away stuff
you no longer need rather than letting it become landfill. You post to
a mailing list stating whether you are offering something or if you
want a particular thing and hopefully you'll be able to hook up with
someone locally to get/give what you want.

Freecycle groups are primarily run using Yahoo groups but we've
decided to have a separate front page and offer a little more. We're
experimenting with the cool new way you can get del.icio.us to spit
out your latest bookmarks - check out the bottom of the site...

So, no excuses, I expect to see you all signed up and feverishly
giving stuff away. We're hoping to get a bit of PR done on the radio
and local papers soon so that we can achieve a critical mass of people
to get it really moving. Tell everyone you know in Wolverhampton.

On your marks, get set, GO!

Rob
