Peer-to-Peer Sharing in Product Service Systems

27th October 2010

Podcast via podcast.cbc.ca/spark/plus-spark_20100901_mickikrimmel.mp3

Description

” “Why buy a drill if what you really want is a hole?” Alex told Nora about product service systems, which turn products (like drills) into services (like a drill rental service). There are many examples of product service systems all around us. Car sharing services and public libraries are good examples.

Now, there’s a new twist to some product service systems: peer-to-peer. Instead of borrowing or renting from a company or organization, sites like NeighborGoods and SnapGoods encourage their users to borrow from one another.

To learn more about this trend, Nora talked to Micki Krimmel, founder of NeighborGoods.” (www.cbc.ca/spark/2010/09/full-interview-micki-krimmel-on-neighborgoods/)
