Fray it

A new way of sharing your talents and skills in your surroundings. Fray it, offers people the possibility to discover and ask services in the neighbourhood, with an application on your smartphone.

For example, if you are an expert in making muffins and you would like to do something with it. You can show (fray) your neighbourhood that you offer people to teach them this specialty (adding a ‘fray’ on the map, looks like google maps). You can add a price to it and people may respond on it. It’s like a marketplace for product and services. On the other side, If you are looking for some activities or new skills, you can look on the map and look for something you like.

The community creates the value. It’s only not clear to me how these engineers (of Fray) make money. Maybe if someone would use this tool they can share this on the blog? I am thinking about a small fee but i would like to know for sure.

If for example you are a fan of techno music, only listening to your radiostation, because it really fits your taste of music but you miss certain songs, or think you could do a better job. It might be an idea for radiostations to rent out hours, or give them away in a competition (in which listeners give either creative suggestions, or Continue reading Radio Rent-out!
