FIRST Place (FIRST Version of Craig's List)

[MattK]

So I am kinda messing around with the concept of having a site called FIRST Place that is based off of Craig's list. You could buy/sell parts, find and share hotel rooms and stuff like that.

Here is the link- http://firstplace.ning.com/index.php

I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.

It seems like an interesting idea but dont you think that it may get some people confused with the actual FIRST Place?

In other words... I think Jeff was trying to say (and what I think as well), don't call it FIRST Place.

Pick an original name.

I've got to agree with iCurtis... it seems like that need has already been filled. I'm familiar with Craigslist, but CD Swap seems to fit the needs of the FIRST community. I've seen people swapping team items and shirts, no reason why hotel rooms and such can't go on there too.

I'm all for creating a resource when there's a need for it... but it seems like your bases are already covered.

looks like a great site, but I definately agree that you should come up with a different name

Yep, there's no limit to how CD-Swap can be used .. just don't try to sell/trade your freshmen or something silly like that.
