Future
Possible future possibilities of hospitality exchange networks are to extend them into other domains, similar like book exchange, exchange of goods in the more general sense, or real-time active ride sharing, using trust networks and GPS on mobile devices.
This will be much easier to attain when there is free software to set up a network. A modular system can be created to have add-ons or plug-ins for things like:
- alternative currency, markets,
- lifestyle solutions,
- maps,
- nomadic university,
- volunteering,
- making some money
- project cooperation opportunities
Practical things for near future
Examples of networks
Some examples of interesting networks, networks that could be integrated:
- BookCrossing book exchange,
- IndyVoter, "a powerful new tool for building power and connecting with others in the world of alternative politics".
