Way of life-style sharing economy, or how Amsterdam became the world capital of life chipped
Today, the Amsterdam players using the app Peerby actively share useful household items: drills, tents, cameras, and other household utensils. It is the dawn of a new urban lifestyle in the style of the sharing economy.

Why buy when you can borrow, and to borrow for free? A good drill is about $100, and you want it once a year. If the neighbor will let you borrow his drill, and in exchange would ask for a video camera to make a film about the day the baby is born, you both will not remain in the loser.
This is a new way of life-style sharing economy. People come out of their houses and apartments and invite the neighbors, and sometimes strangers help to mutual benefit. It is not only about tools, utensils or appliances. Around the world citizens borrow each other's cars, bicycles, briefly share apartments or villas. The purchase of many items in such a society only makes sense if they have no neighbors within a radius of several kilometers.
And the girl is gone and bad with money...
In Amsterdam sharing economy started with personal neuragen simple Dutchman Daan Weddepohl. In 2009 he lost his job, then left him a girl, then he lost his property - his apartment burned down. After the fire, neighbors began to help Weddepohl: he brought food, blankets and many necessary things.
Weddepohl learned from their troubles important lesson. People like to help each other, and asking for help can create new acquaintances and contacts. That is, it helps us all become a little happier. Wedepohl decided to make money and created a website and app Peerby.
The idea of the website is to create useful tool to lend to each other different household stuff. It can be used to inform registered users that you need, for example, a power drill or a ladder. The app determines your location and sends a request to your neighbors. If someone wants to lend you the desired object, he will answer you through the app. You will be able to get in touch to agree how to collect and return the desired object. The whole procedure takes primerno 30 minutes.
Peerby is an important difference from other similar applications is that communication begins with human requests. It does not require a large number of users. If at least 10 people living nearby, quite active in it, very soon their consumer habits and habits of their neighbours begin to change.
Who clamped the drill?
It is clear that Peerby has its share of problems. Home - people sometimes don't return things on time or do not want to give them. Because of this, many users are afraid to borrow expensive items for example video cameras.
Another problem is the people using the service just trying to get rid of unnecessary things. One of his users so he gave a lot of nails, bolts and other construction supplies. Nothing wrong there, but it is contrary to the idea of Peerby.
Weddepohl trying to solve them by using the ratings and a small monthly fee for the use of the resource. It is known that people value their reputation in the Internet, the emergence of the possibility to give grades to those who borrowed from them, reduced the number of defaults. Peerby is still developing the insurance system: people taking on loan products, pay a small insurance fee, in case a borrowed item is not returned or destroyed, the losses of the owner will cover this money.
Life without shopping
Now Peerby about 15 thousand users in Amsterdam. The app is slowly spreading to other cities in Holland and abroad, e.g. in Belgium and Germany.
Weddepohl does not stop there. His site moves simultaneously in two directions. The businessman is trying to negotiate with one of the companies that produce electric drills and other tools, the creation of new supply chains. Drills will not buy, and borrow directly from the manufacturer, which will receive a small payment for each drilled hole.
Users, meanwhile, expand the scope of Peerby. The site was developed as a service that provides real goods. But today it is already using to find people willing to help with the renovation or relocation. published
