Dear traveling representatives of the habra community. We want to make a “social mail” service especially for you?

Question

Facebook

A service that allows travelers to fill the free space in their luggage and “recapture” some of the money for the trip. Since the people gathered here value their reputation on the service, the problem of trust is excluded.
How it works?
1) Install the FB app
2) As soon as you check in to a location other than where you actually live ->
3) The app posts a message on your wall: "I'm Alex and I'm in Zimbabwe now [app link]. Who should bring what? 7kg free in luggage!”
4) And friends can contact and ask to bring something
Now there is a prototype (developed in 48 hours on #garage48 kiev)
Are you interested in this? I can write an article for the public to see.

Answer 1

There is a community in livejournal, birdymail.ru and others.

Answer 2

Fine! Great idea Bro!!!
I need to bring a kilo package from Colombia!))

Answer 3

Are there Colombians among Khabrovites?

Answer 4

Great idea! Is it possible to make a version without linking to social networks? Well, I don’t want to register there, I don’t want to ... :)

Answer 5

Our difference is that we aim at the Global Market and FB allows this. Many have friends abroad who are going to visit your city. Well, or in extreme cases, friends who are going on vacation for a week and can bring you something. It remains to bring them together in our app.

Answer 6

It will be great if everyone writes in essence what problems he sees in creating such a service:
- security difficulties
- with the involvement of friends
- with a language barrier
and everything that everyone thinks about this.
And I will try to fend off the "attacks")

Answer 7

Here is also an already existing service:
carryandcash.com/

Answer 8

Many thanks to everyone for the comments and for the indicated possible shortcomings. Happy upcoming holidays everyone!
We are preparing an article based on the results (there is already enough karma, Thank you who voted +), we will publish it after the holidays.
We will be glad to see habrozhiteli among the first who will try our service for themselves!
