Can’t find what you’re looking for? Let us help!
In some of my upcoming posts, I will be covering some features on BorrowMe that you may or may not be aware of. This will help to bring awareness to these features, but also to make life easier for the users (That’s you!).
This week, we talk about Wishes!
First, what is a Wish? A wish is something that you are looking to borrow, rent, receive or buy. Maybe you would like to borrow a ladder to clean your eaves over the weekend, perhaps you want to rent a pressure washer to clean off your driveway. Regardless, you stop by BorrowMe and do a quick search that returns no results. Don’t get discouraged, post a Wish!
When you post a Wish on Borrow me it not only get’s added to the site, it lurks. It watches what other people are posting to see if it will match what you are looking for. If somebody in your area posts what you’re looking for then you will receive an email from our system to let you know. How cool is that!
You can get better exposure for your Wishes by posting them to Facebook. When you finish posting your wish, we will give you the option to post it to your wall as well (Of course, you don’t have to). Most of your friends don’t know when you’re looking for something, so if they see it on Facebook they can connect to BorrowMe with a few clicks and offer to lend/rent/sell it to you.

How Much Could We Save?
about 2 weeks ago - No comments
I find it funny, ironic even, that I hear so much on the radio (I don’t have cable) about this Government or that politician whining about how in debt the City/Province/State/Country is in, and how there will be cuts to this, that and the other thing; I have even heard about politicians accepting *GASP* a More >
BorrowMe for Book Clubs
about 2 weeks ago - No comments
I was working away the other day and I began looking around our living room for some inspiration, when my eyes fell upon our book-shelf. I forgot about what I was doing and stared at all the books lining the shelf from top to bottom, purchased, read and filed. Now they sit there, collecting dust, More >
5 Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint and Your Spending
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
With the recent economic downturn, people are trying to find ways to save money. Without realizing it, many of the things they are doing to reduce costs are also helping to reduce their carbon footprint. Whether you are a believer in Global Warming or not, you have to agree that the less pollution being spewed More >
BorrowMe for Freecycle Users
about 1 month ago - 1 comment
The ideals behind the Freecycle Network are noble and geared towards helping the planet. They have thousands of groups with millions of members across the globe, but they have been facing the loss of members and groups left right and center (Most notably in the UK where Freegle has sprung up in the upheaval). Many More >
Success Story #42 – Pickup Truck
about 1 month ago - No comments
We have all been there. We’re forced to move, or need to pick up a large item, but we just can’t pack it into the Kia no matter which way we bend, push or fold. Most people call a friend who has a truck and get it dealt with Tout de suite (Look at me More >
BorrowMe for Offices
about 1 month ago - No comments
We spend 8 hours or more a day with our co-workers, yet many of us have little to no interaction with each other outside of the throws of work. It would be nice if we could get to know our co-workers a bit more, and save some money in the process. I’m not saying we More >
BorrowMe for Condo/Apartment Complexes
about 1 month ago - No comments
We nod slightly as we pass in the halls, wave a quick acknowledgment from across the lobby or parking lot, but that’s the extent of interaction most people have with their neighbors. One definition for neighbor is “a person who shows kindliness or helpfulness toward his or her fellow humans“, yet we seem to have More >
New Year, New Ways of Thinking
about 2 months ago - No comments
It happens every year, another digit is added to the calendar and people set lofty goals of how they are going to change or better themselves this year. By February, a majority of them have forgotten their resolutions and life is back to normal. This year, set yourself some goals that you can actually implement, More >
Our ‘Buy Nothing Christmas’
about 3 months ago - 2 comments
While many Christians still celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus, the rest of the world has been sucked into the consumerist holiday that infects our lives like a plague, starting on November 1st. The holiday season has been poisoned by mass consumption and greed. While millions of people suffer, barely able to eat, local More >
Low Impact Sustainable Living aka ‘The Hobbit House’
about 3 months ago - No comments
Ever since I saw The Lord of the Rings, I wanted a Hobbit hole (Albeit a bit larger to accommodate my 6′5″ frame). Built into the landscape while not destroying the scenic beauty, the epic residence of Frodo and friends are the things eco-dreams are made of. But would the concept really work? Could it More >
