Hello Ladies and Gents -
As some of you may know, I have been quite busy the last couple of months. The reason: I have been involved in a small startup called Favorville.com. It is a community based web site where people help each other and connect within their neighborhood, city and beyond.
The concept is simple. Imagine a place where you can get help. Any help. From anyone.
Imagine a place where you can ask to borrow a drill, a place where someone can help you move a couch, give you legal advice, help you with your essay, or give you a lift.
And now imagine a place where you can return a favor, lend a drill, help
move a couch, give a lift, or get someone a deal on a flight because you
work for the airline.
That place is Favorville. http://www.favorville.com
We've launched the site a few days ago with only 4 cities, with Toronto being the most active for now (since that's where we're from). Other cities will be created on demand. In fact, most suggested cities will be created within 12 hours. So if you don't see your city on the list, just ask for it!
The site is still in beta. So if you do end up using it and stumble upon something that didn't work just right, do let us know via the Suggest link on the site.
I don't post about my endeavors on the site very often, but I'm extremely excited about our concept and its simplicity: getting connected by helping each other. So check it out!
Last thing that I ask, don't be shy letting your friends know about the site :)
Thanks,
Daniel (admin). |

Wish you the best of success with it. I'll pass the word. I sent a suggestion for Phoenix Az, North Scottsdale.

| Can't change the city? When I look for this kind of stuff on craigslist, I always browse Philly and New York. Now that I selected Philly at favorville, I can't seem to change the city anymore. |

When you're on the "favor" page, your city should be displayed in the upper-left corner. Right under that should be a link that says "Change City".
Or, you should be able to just delete your cookie and it will be have like it originally did. (Cookie is listed under "www.favorville.com" and is titled "city") |

I'm curious as to why the same three "favors" show up on just about every city I try. Looks more like scammers, really. Or perhaps just test posts?
1) Emergency Financial Help Needed
2) Independent music - digital downloads
3) mailing list cgi script |

Let me explain. You have an ability to post a favor to a specific city, or broadcast across Favorville.
1) Emergency Financial Help Needed
This is a true post, the person is just looking for a part-time job to earn extra cash.
2) Independent music - this is Zunior.com (a good friend of mine) is giving Favorville members 20% discount as a favor and to help launch Favorville.com
3) mialing list cgi script - this is a web designer looking for help with some cgi programming (I actually replied to that one :) ) |
