I'm now officially a volunteer moderator for the Edinburgh Freegle group.
\r\nI love Freegle (/Freecycle) and have used it for years. I've got rid of stuff\r\nI didn't need and given a loving home to many unwanted things. Things I love\r\nabout Freegle are:
\r\nPossessions I have gained thanks to Freelge include:
\r\nWhen I met the other moderators a couple of weeks ago to become officially\r\ntrained in the process, I had no idea how much goes on behind the scenes.\r\nWell, I had some idea, but actually there's loads more. Edward\r\nHibbert is\r\nbehind it all.
\r\nAt it's core, Freegle still runs on Yahoo Groups. This means it's possible to\r\ninteract with it through email alone. Thus, moderation takes place through\r\nthe Yahoo Groups interface, but hugely enhanced thanks to Edward's moderator\r\nFirefox plugin. (It means I have to moderate using Firefox or suffer the\r\nconsequences, but it's not so bad. One day maybe we/I'll port it to a Chrome\r\nextension).
\r\nHowever, there's also a super high tech front-end at\r\nFreegle.in/Edinburgh. Check it out. The web\r\ninterface helps people get their subject lines correct and keeps track of\r\nvarious user stats. It detects where people are posting from from the subject\r\nline and plots it on a handy map; it categorises posts by picking out keywords\r\nfrom the subject line too, and usually gets it right.
\r\nThere's definitely more to write about here, but I'm going to save that for\r\nanother time.
\r\nMeanwhile, if you're not part of your local Freegle or Freecycle group, change\r\nthat! Check out ilovefreegle.com to find yours.\r\nIt's an easy and amazingly beneficial way to help the environment and interact\r\nwith your local community.
