In this tough economy, nobody can afford to spend more than necessary
for the things they need. Toolzdo.com, which recently launched its
public beta, allows users to get the most out of what they have rather
than buying new things, bringing a physical connection back in our
communities and rekindling cooperative living in neighborhoods.

Put simply, Toolzdo.com connects local people who "have stuff" with
people who "want stuff". Goods, tools and equipment, skills or
anything useful can be rented, swapped, shared or simply given away as
neighbors can now join together to better each other’s lives.

www.ToolzDo.com is the first and only web platform that combines the
old spirit of cooperative living with an advanced localized search and
a flexible choice of renting, swapping, sharing and gifting to provide
access to resources next door, around the corner, or in your own
backyard.

Users can quickly post their stuff and find what they want more
efficiently and economically using cutting edge web technology—whether
it’s moms swapping sports gear, toys or giving baby clothes or dads
renting out their power tools or an accountant bartering his services
for auto repairs or fashionistas swapping clothes, accessories, and
jewelry or students swapping or even renting textbooks, cell phones,
DVDs, video games. The potential for keeping more cash is enormous
with ToolzDo.

When it comes to ease of use, safety and efficiency, ToolzDo has them
all covered by offering a leading-edge combined search engine that
returns all rentals, swaps and free stuff found with a single keyword
search, a smart filtering to quickly zoom in specific listing types or
categories, and an interactive member profile that helps build trust
through transparency and openness. All these allow users to find what
they want, how they want it, in a trusted and friendly environment.
While ToolzDo promotes openness, it ensures privacy through various
user controlled privacy settings including who gets to request their
posted items.

In addition to helping users keep more cash, ToolzDo is on a mission
to bring physical connection back in our communities and to rekindle
cooperative living in neighborhoods. In the 21st century, cooperative
living is primarily seen during times of crisis, disaster or illness.
But more can be done day to day to make life easier, more fun and
satisfying by connecting with people we live among. ToolzDo
supplements commerce with community awareness and purposeful social
features to help bring locals together into a more connected
community. In addition to the stuff, ToolzDo community features allow
users to:

* Share with their community projects they are working on or
planning to work on and see coincidences of similar projects members
are doing or have done. This provides opportunities to share tips,
expertise and maybe get a helping hand or two.
* Find neighbors and request Real Connections and stay connected
with members of your community. It’s an address book for neighbors.
* Discuss all things that matter to the local and global community
in the Forum.
* All these makes ToolzDo.com the one-stop connection for
neighbors to ask, answer, share, support and solve together.

ToolzDo.com provides a numerous opportunities for neighbors to connect
in practical ways. It’s a Swiss Army knife for building community.
Additionally, ToolzDo’s platform serves as a mega reuse tool taming
the buy-throwaway cycle to help reduce waste and conserve the
environment. Keeping more cash and going green is a community affair
on ToolzDo.
