Hey Guys,

I’m not really sure if you are interested in me blogging about this sort of stuff, but I thought I’d give it a go. If you are bored to tears, you can let me know and I’ll go back to posting recipes, etc.

Greedy or Needy is first and foremost a community. Yes, you can come on here and make a wish and potentially win a modest sum of money, but that isn’t the main reason why people keep coming back. It is the sense of community and real friendship.

When people first started using the web, it was a place where people could go to escape. They could have an online persona completely different from who they were in real life and it was pretty cool. Now, people want to use the web to connect on a deeper level with people in real life.

The web gives people the chance to find others with similar interests to themselves, regardless of location or socio-economic bracket. This is exciting! This connecting of people is what makes sites like GreedyorNeedy possible.

Knowing that, we need to think about how we are going to use the tools we’ve got to make the most out of them. How can we use this site to make amazing things happen? We have the opportunity to change things. No longer are you giving your $5 to UNICEF without having any idea what happens to it. You can make real connections with real people on here and see how that same amount of money impacts their lives. By the way, we refer to this as peer-to-peer giving.

We already have the Spare Change Fund, run entirely by you guys, what are some other suggestions for amazing things we can do on here?
