254 Responses, We Are A Quarter of the Way There!
Yesterday was quite a day! We jumped from 100 responses in the morning, to over 250 responses by today. I am very impressed by the high level of involvement, and with how many people have forwarded on the survey to their list of contacts. Check out our Survey Meter to see our progress.
I see this level of involvement as evidence of two things. First we have great friends who want to help us succeed. For this we are extremely grateful. The second is that people really see value in helping each other. This is a core concept behind the iRent2u platform, that “Together We Have More.” Helping each other, lending to each other, sharing our property; these concepts are the foundation of a movement.

More Survey Info:
A bunch of people have been asking about the survey, so here is a bit of info. At the moment I am writing this we have received 254 responses. I would love to start sharing some of our findings but hesitate because I don’t want to influence future responses. There are a couple of figures that seem to be prevalent enough that I can go ahead and post them without causing too many problems though.
From the moment we started this we have known that a very important aspect of this sites success is trust. Do people trust each other? Constantly on the news we hear about all the bad things that happen in the world, which makes us nervous. This is primarily because fear sells, and thus the media uses it to make a lot of money. Well at iRent2u we believe that people are basically good. While we know there are always going to be some bad apples, and we will do everything in our power to stop them at every turn, the majority of people are good. They help each other, care about each other, and trust each other.
Well this was something that we wanted to get your opinion on, and the results look great so far! Out of 254 people, 68% say that in general they trust their neighbors. Well, of course your neighbors are very close so perhaps they are easier to trust, but another 56% of people say they in general trust the people in their community. So these are very promising results.
Of course your trust is very precious, and shouldn’t be wasted. Because of this we are building multiple safeguards into the site. I wont go into too much detail now, but we are including such items as a rating system, optional insurance, and deposits. Besides that we have some more up our sleeves, but will leave that for later. Rest assured that we have your best interests in mind. Knowing this, plus recognizing that most people are basically good, should help you to know that there are some incredible things that will happen in your community.
Thanks for your attention. Make sure to keep sending out that survey to people. The more who respond the better idea we have on how to tailor the site to your specific needs.
