COUCH SURFING

Saturday night I met a woman who works for couchsurfing.com

You could take a few guesses but let me explain: Couch surfing is a network of people who will let you crash on their couch -- yup, the internet has updated the old network of crashpads -- and some have become practically evangelical about it.

As Extreme Capitalism continues on its merry path, with $3 billion hedge fund earners, and  $1000  legal fees, it seems only natural that others would run the  other way from a materialistic world. As a result there is a growing movement of people looking to simplify -- give away their possessions, exchange goods and services in a barter fashion, and a whole network of couch surfers.
 
It's a trend... let's see who capitalizes on it.
