I was asked to blog about the sites, tools, zines, lists, magazines, fundraisers and other resources I've found and continue to find when helping start-ups, job seekers, people with disabilities, older adults, nonprofits, etc. Read, Share, Save, Enjoy!

U-Exchange: Sway just about anything
You can search for items around the world using U-Exchange. They're up front about spotlight advertising by businesses, which is a plus in my book. It helps keep the site free. I like that my email isn't available and that we have to use verification codes to post/send email. People have pretty neat items they want to get rid of and I don't have to pay to browse listings (window shop before you ask for items). People even trade services.
Swap Mamas
I love the idea behind Swap Mamas: give/swap your children's items and save money. It's also green:). I'm not a fan of the giver paying shipping, even though I understand it makes everything totally free. They have a great online community that can be taken offline too. Plus, I give props to anyone who was laid off that creates something that does good for others.
