We’ve been busy lately at superfluid, so I thought I’d post to update folks on the state of things at our b2b site, superfluid.biz, and encourage those who haven’t yet posted offerings to get something started. We’ve been steadily adding users, so you’re likely to find some new offerings of interest to you, and as a registered user, you can borrow a few Quids to purchase products or services before your own time gets used in the system.
In addition, we’ve just completed construction of quids.org, a non-commercial implementation of the superfluid technology. With a focus on volunteer projects, it has a simpler process, and a cost-free model that requires only a $1 donation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. -superfluid.biz is also free for the time being (at least a year for beta users), but will eventually have an annual subscription fee. As quids.org is all about collaborating on services, it doesn’t allow commercial transactions, or those involving physical goods, so we don’t collect W9 information and membership is available to international participants. We envision it being used for social good/software/games/art and any number of other areas we haven’t yet conceived.
Upcoming for quids.org is a facebook application, allowing you to pull together your volunteer projects from that site as well, and a mess of other stuff that we won’t spoil by mentioning now.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please do let me know. We continue to develop superfluid.biz and quids.org with a lot of feedback from the community, and are pretty responsive to needs, whether that’s in the form of functionality or rounding up offerings of specific interest to current members.
