Freecycle Sucks! Welcome to the Future – Ewishingwell
Friday, October 8th, 2010“Freecycle sucks, it stinks, it’s outdated”, says many former users (google it and see for yourself).
Freecycle has been an excellent website since it’s inception on May 1st, 2003. It has kept many useful items out of the landfills. However, it is not really a website after all.
Here’s the definition of Freecycle from their website:
“Freecycle(TM) is an email list where people give away things that they no longer need for free.”
It is really an email list that has human moderators. The users have to join their local Freecycle Network group through Yahoo Groups to become a member. You can’t even view the types of items people are giving away or wanting without becoming a member first and joining the Yahoo Group. As some of you know already, your membership may be denied based on your locality.
Fast forward seven years. The Internet has definitely changed, as technology always does. There is a fun and exciting new answer to giving away free items and wishing for things. Welcome to Ewishingwell (www.ewishingwell.com).
Ewishingwell (www.ewishingwell.com) is designed with the need of it’s users in mind. As one blogger commented after visiting the website. “Ewishingwell is MUCH BETTER than Freecycle.” It is the answer people are searching for: it’s green, easy, fast, kind, fun, exciting, social, and FREE!
There are no moderators (humans) waiting to approve your listing. However, there is a restricted items list which is designed to keep everything posted on the website within the law. Ewishingwell’s users can post as many wishes for items as they want. Unlike Freecycle’s one or two a month limit.
Here’s the best part: you are not limited to your local community on Ewishingwell (as you are with Freecycle). Ewishingwell touches all of North America. You can mail the items or grant someone’s wish across North America. Heck, if you want to give away the big stuff (like a couch), you can limit your wish or gift to your local community, if you choose. Ewishingwell doesn’t limit the location, the user does.
If you’re one of the people who likes to perform Random Acts of Kindness, your life just got a little brighter. You can search the site for a wish to grant or giveaway an item anytime you feel the urge welling up inside you.
Ewishingwell has a fast sign up process (just like most websites of today have). You can surf through the items and wishes without even signing in or becoming a registered user. The website is very Easy and Fun to use. The best part is it’s Free! There are no excuses for you not to try it. You’ll Love it!
Ewishingwell is the website of Today, not the email list of yesterday. It’s a very user friendly, exciting and fun to use website! REMEMBER: Anything is possible at Ewishingwell (www.ewishingwell.com)! Real People, Real Wishes, Real Fun!
