Springwise: A Peer-To-Peer Marketplace For Experiences It’s been a while since we featured Sweemo’s online auction for experiences, but recently we came across something similar. Based in Berlin, Gidsy bills itself as ‘a community marketplace for authentic experiences.’ Now in beta, Gidsy is still gearing up for launch. Once it does, it promises to provide a place where anyone can host an activity, as well as simply finding something fun to do. Gidsy is currently focused on activities hosted in Berlin and New York City, but it hopes to expand soon.

The Co-Sharing Trend [Need To Know: SXSWi] As we all begin to look forward to the Interactive section of South By South West in March, PSFK has identified five key trends that readers should be monitoring during the festival. One of these trends, we have coined ‘Co-Sharing.’ Today, a growing number of people are trading items and favors between each other. Digital technology allows anyone to find an object or service they need, when they want it, where they want it. Everything and anything is being lent and traded. This peer to peer exchange raises the overall value of the entire community of members by offering more choice, experience and opportunities that meet an ever changing set of expectations and needs. One pertinent example of this trend that continues to come up in our research is car-sharing.
