SwapThing – My Thing for Your Thing
http://www.swapthing.com/
Based in Cupertino, California, SwapThing enables the swapping (trade and barter) of any combination of items and services between consumers and small businesses, as well as direct purchases. For exchanges that seem unequal, cash can be used to balance the transaction. SwapThing is swap-based, as opposed to auction-based, allowing completely private, one-on-one negotiations. SwapThing offers free registration and listing for items, with a low transaction fee of $1.00 for each exchange of goods, no matter how many items are involved in the swap. The service listings are similar to local and national classified ads with a subscription-based fee, which is determined by the length of time the listing will be on the site. The SwapThing search engine matches items/services offered to items/services wanted – a unique system of direct exchange between users. User trustworthiness and reputations are formed by means of a rating system, which is provided through a partnership with RapLeaf. SwapThing also enables the creation of community and social networking through user tagging, a blog, and SwapCircles. A SwapCircle is a group of individuals who identify with a particular activity, locality or other commonality. Valued peer-to-peer connections are formed through the networking, making swap transactions amongst one another more dependable and honest.

Created in 1992, the PRC has maintained this site for well over a decade, and visitors will enjoy looking over some of their fact sheets, reports, and their online chronology of data breaches. On their homepage, visitors can browse a list of topical headings that might be of interest. Some of these topics include direct marketing, financial privacy, medical privacy, and external links that expand on these topics. Within each of these topical sections, visitors can view fact sheets that are both well-written and very pragmatic. Visitors can also browse through the first-hand experiences of consumers who have lobbied effectively to protect their own privacy, and also look over a set of relevant blogs on the subject. Additionally, it is worth noting that many of the fact sheets offered here are available in Spanish. This has been added to Privacy Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
