Win for Cambrian House

I mentioned Cambrian House here before. I got a lot of feedback on my book trading service idea. Some seemed to miss the point, which is an indicaton to me that I needed to work on the elevator pitch, but other comments were truly insightful and helpful. One of the most obvious benefits is the use of crowdsourcing to quickly identofy competitors or compatible services. In this case, I learned about bookmooch.com, which I had never run into before. It's a free service that allows swapping of books (C2C) for credits.

Based on the feedback, and my new knowledge of the Bookmooch service, I've reworked my idea in order to differentiate it. I'll post the new idea soon.

I consider this a win for the Cambrian House model.
