Internet Startup: PayMeWithAChicken.com
Aspiring to be the YouTube of the barter world, Pay Me With A Chicken.com pairs buyers and sellers who wish to barter, not with text and picture listings like so many other barter sites, but with video. A potential seller can make a video of what they have to sell, and the buyers can do the same. Swaps occur when both parties agree. According to their web site:
PayMeWithAChicken.com is the world’s only person-to-person barter website providing members the option to easily upload and share video clips of items and services they wish to barter across the Internet, on mobile devices and via email on a global basis.
If, in the world of online bartering a picture is worth a thousand words, a video clip is priceless. Now household items, tools, recreational and electronic equipment, housing-swaps, vehicles, artwork, pets, collectibles and every imaginable type of service, from construction and home repair to musical and theatrical entertainment, come to life vividly and accurately, allowing our community of members to display what they’re offering, and to see what they’re being offered in return.
Hatched in April, 2009, Paymewithachicken.com is powered by LaunchPad Media (Launchpad.tv), a cutting-edge leader in creative web design. Pay Me With A Chicken, LLC brings together a team of award winning professionals from the worlds of entertainment, media production and broadcast journalism.
Why video? I don’t get it…
We assume that they are going by the old adage, a picture is worth a thousand words. Video people like to think that a well made video is worth 10,000 words, and the principals of the company are all in the video production business.
Yeah right …. With Video it is easy to show anyone’s product functionality … good Idea
