Probs... I use PaperbackSwap.com. The “trust” thing worries me. But I’m pretty new to Twitter so it’s interesting.

So a Tweet might look like this?
#bookswap HAVE:”Twilight” & WANT:$8.00
Now what? DM the details?

& Couldn’t you do ANYTHING, not just books? Have: Chevy & Want: $10.

Congrats, I think you just turned Twitter into Craigslist.

-Companies would then feed their Want/Have ads into Twitter.

A Twitter bookswap - now there’s a good (and green) idea! http://www.paulcarr.com/need-need-got/

sounds like a novel idea. but what about the publishers/authors? wont they revolt?

cover your ass and make sure you won’t be held liable.

HAVE: Pogo stick
WANT: Twister

A peculiarly British nostalgia format, this. Dress it up all you like with your so-called “books” but I know Swap Shop when I see it.
