Do you Zwaggle?

Admittedly there are a lot of ways to share kids stuff you've outgrown: friends who are expecting, freecycle, craigslist, eBay, the marketplace on Berkeley Parents Network (if you're in the Bay Area). But just in case...

Here's another option. Though there's a twist. It's called Zwaggle and the idea is sort of a virtual mom swap meet. You post what you have and assign a point value to it. Other parents claim your stuff and then you can shop for other peoples' stuff with your accumulated points. For the big stuff you obviously have to be in the same geographic locale for it to be reasonable. But the site does partner with FedEx to make shipping things like clothes and such possible.

The usefulness of this site probably depends on the resources that already exist in your geographic area... but do check it out!
