In their own words
“Use this site to share your skills and find services you need. Posted services are usually less formal and less profit-oriented than other directories. Most people who provide services just want to share a talent or support an organization they care about… We encourage the non-commercial nature of our community by setting a one-price-for-everybody policy: 15 ‘time-bucks’ is equal to one hour of service.”
Why it might be a killer
TimeBucks.org will appeal to busy people who still want to make a difference and get involved in their communities, since there is such a minimal time requirement. And if you could get an hour-long professional massage in exchange for, say, an hour of dog-walking… wouldn’t you go for it? Timebucks.org makes these sorts of trades possible, without any cash changing hands.
Some questions
Can this site get enough traffic and donations of services to gain the initial momentum it needs? Should it focus on certain geographic areas until the site picks up a bit more, since so many of the services – like babysitting, yard work, massage, guitar lessons, etc. – require geographic proximity for the trades to work?
