SmilePooling is coming…
Posted by Jorge Bernal August 02, 2006
I think it’s time to introduce our new project, in which I’ve been working for the last month: SmilePooling
Simply put, SmilePooling is a web application to order items from Amazon stores for you and your friends and colleagues, so that you can split the shipping costs.
This saving can be ridiculous or even null for people living in the US, UK or any other country with an Amazon local store. But in Europe, the combined rate from US for books is $4.49, in Africa is $6.99, and $8.99 in Middle East. If you can split that by sharing an order with two friends everybody wins.
Right now we are starting our private beta, inviting some friends and polishing it for the public. It’s intended to go public by the end of August (you don’t want us to launch it while we are on vacation, do you?).
If you are interested and want to stay informed, you can enter your email address on http://smilepooling.com/, or visit our blog. There is also a feed for announcements only at http://feeds.feedburner.com/SmilepoolingAnnouncements.
Share the smile box!
