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

 * Technical ideas for different ways for looking for accomodation/meetings

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".
