This morning the Mrs+DJ heard about Yoink! on the radio and after a 10 min blast on the site and iPhone app, it looks the goods.
In short its a free item lister which includes your GPS coordinates. In long it enables you to pinpoint other nearby Yoink! users and contact them to collect free stuff they have advertised. In 1 minute I can see that someone around the corner from me has a pie maker they don't want and a fridge thats been converted into a huge party esky!
Its only weakness I can see is its reliance on the public. ie if no one uses it, no one will use it. Alternatively if people post false things or 'free sex' at their mates houses (or other hilarious things) it wont last very long!
So if you have an iPhone, search for Yoink! and download the little app. There are 9 people within 2 suburbs around my house with free stuff so hopefully as word spreads there will be more and more and we'll need to renovate to store it al.
Happy collecting of other peoples shit!

That website is wicked! Lets hope it stops a whole lot of very useable 'stuff' ending up in land fill!
