Q: What is Swapire.com?
A: Swapire is all about swapping services online. It provides its members to list service offers and requests for a particular project. So a car mechanic needing a plumbing work would use the website as follows. First, he will provide details of what he is offering, namely his cars fixing skills. Secondly, he will specify details of what he needs: plumbing work. Once this project information is saved on our website, other people coming to the website will be able to view the details of the project. When a plumber sees the project, he can contact the mechanic to discuss the swapping opportunities.
Q: What is the history of Swapire?
A:
The idea of Swapire was originated with observation of people swapping services as a routine and necessary in their daily lives in India. Swapping for services or products is not new. Historically, people have been swapping for many years. They have traded goods and services for goods and services prior to the introduction of money. With the rise of money, money was used and is still used predominately as means of trade.
With the looming bad news in the economy, I thought of ways to help people trade without the use of money that most people lost (as income or investment) with the result of downturns in the market. With the background in internet technologies, I was looking for a solution in the context of use of internet. I came up with several promising ideas and names for the service. I derived the word Swapire from two words: swap and empire. The intent was to create an internet empire of swapping without the use of money.
