Simbi is awesome. I was just thinking about what I could provide, I realized we all know a lot more than we offer. #untappedvalue #trillionsssssss

@jamon_alexander You got it! By my estimation, only about 20% of our skills reach the bar where we will sell them for dollars. But the rest of them are still valuable -- they just need a market-clearing mechanism. That's where we come in.

Very cool idea, KJ... I was working on something similar (Producia) for college campuses back in 2014 and one of the biggest challenges we came across in our pilot project was a lot of students didn't know what skills they had to offer other students. I'm a huge proponent for alternative economics and I even developed an economic model called Producism (http://producism.org). Would love to chat sometime :).

@imdrewlittle How cool. Let's definitely put our heads together. We have a Skills Quiz (https://simbi.com/quiz) to help people think about what they can offer, but mostly they realize from browsing other people's offers (https://simbi.com/services) and requests (https://simbi.com/requests)

@kjer that skills quiz is a really good idea! cudos to you and the team!

That's a super literal logo. Relatively cute though & more welcoming that whatever MC Escher-eques logo you'd make for more of a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" direction. Nice place to start bartering if you're not exactly liquid, interested to see if it somehow works 'symbiotically' with the cash economy.

Sounds interesting. Good luck!

Hey @kjer this is fabulous! I actually had pitched this idea at Startup Weekend to help single parents trade work for their children's education and activities. It's awesome to see. In all honesty, I don't think there is any reason to monetise when it's based around bartering. 😉
