Pay Me With a Chicken, a video barter website that has been the feature of a number of articles on this site, has officially exited beta. According to their release:
“In the current economic environment, with money in short supply, goods and services are a clear substitute for cash,” says Levy. “History shows that when our economy is in flux, barter booms.”
Adds Pay Me With A Chicken, LLC Co-Founder, Mark Cohen, “We have combined the practicality of eBay with the entertainment value of YouTube.”
According to the U.S. Department Of Commerce, there is an annual $10 billion barter industry in North America. Furthermore, 30 percent of the world’s business is barter-based.
WWW.PAYMEWITHACHICKEN.COM, a free service, facilitates barter as an aggregator; it does not participate in transactions between barterers. The site is powered by LaunchPad Media (www.launchpad.tv), a cutting-edge leader in creative web design.
I’ll probably have to review the site again…watch for updates in coming weeks.
