There’s a new online pub in town! It’ll cover “design for a shareable world.” I personally feel like they’re tapping into the zeitgeist… Congrats Jeremy and Neal!

Some words from the founders:

Shareable.net tells the unfolding story of sharing. We cover the people, places, and projects that are bringing a shareable world to life. And share tools, tips, and how-to’s to make a shareable world real in your life.
In a shareable world, things like car sharing, tool libraries, and cohousing can bring us together, make life easier, and free us to focus on the important things in life. When we share, not only is a better life possible, but so is a healthier planet and society.

The successes of Freecycle, open source software, Wikipedia, Kiva, Burning Man, and Creative Commons also tell a more positive story about human nature and our future than we might hear elsewhere.

They show what’s possible when given the chance to share our stuff, skills, knowledge, money, and creativity. They show that we do not just act for our own good, but take great pleasure in contributing to the common good. They show powerful ways of organizing ourselves that will help us overcome the social and environmental challenges we face. They show that a new world is emerging, one where everyone has a chance to share, where the more you share the more respect you get, and where life is made easier because we are eager to help each other.

We tell this story because a shareable world might be just what we need to enjoy life to its fullest and save the planet in the process. And it’s already here. Shareable.net is your invitation to live in it.
