Thanks,

At 8:03am on March 26, 2009, Belinda said…: Thanks Pete! I'm hoping some others from my suburb of Christchurch or nearby suburbs will join as well. I swap stuff with my neighbour at the moment and it's lots of fun. Cucumbers in exchange for black boy peaches etc. It's just great. Belinda

At 10:25pm on March 17, 2009, Heather Bruce said…: HI Pete, Thanks for the welcome. I am hoping to get this up and running in my community , it is rather spread out in the Nambucca Valley. I love the concept of this site. It's cool how a website can extend community spirit across the tasman. Thank you.

At 10:48pm on March 16, 2009, Liz Cooper said…: I found one way to search for woofing hosts, and that's do an advanced search for members, selecting only the location and the WWOOFER Hosting boxes, and they all show up. maybe a sign somewhere directing people to use that search members function, and make suggestions like: "looking for wwoof hosts, simply do an advanced search and check the woof host box and in the address section, the area you are interested in woofing in". or you could expand woofing from being a sub category of "areas of interest" to its own category, and people could check boxes on what kind of work they have and what skills they would appreciate woofers to have.

At 1:42am on March 14, 2009, Jen said…: Thanks Pete. I found out about your site through a Ning network search for food resources. I look forward to learning more about growing my own food.

We are still travelling, in China at the moment, but back to UK soon!
Look forward to seeing you in Totnes and continuing our discussions. I just told my daughter living in NYC about your concept, she just set up a CSA http://southsidecsa.wordpress.com/, and thought she might be interested in ooooby Yours

Yes, ooooby grapes small and sweet. Two buckets full, squished to make grape juice. Delicious.

At 8:37pm on March 10, 2009, Jude Simpson said…: Hi Pete
The Waitakere Sharing group visited the Ranui Community Gdn today, it was good to see.
My question is: Is it possible for all the westoooobyians who have listed themselves as 'Kelston ' or 'Te Atatu', be grouped as Waitakere so when we do a search for other oooobyian neighbours then one click will bring us all together...does that make sense?
You're a genius!
Regards
Jude

At 11:03am on March 8, 2009, Gina Higham said…: Hey Pete! Hope you're well and the ooooby store continues to thrive!
We're wanting to put it out there for a WWOOFer to come our way the week of 15 March, but I can't work out how best to post this on the ooooby site. If you have time, could you drop me a line? But only if you have time, coz I know you're a busy fella!
See you soon

Gina

At 5:35pm on March 7, 2009, Mark Fowler said…: Thanks Pete, Hopefully you caught up with my brother-in-law Chris ( KINATONIC man) today on Waiheke. I love the concept of ooooby.

Although I am very keenly interested in home gardening - sustainably, I am have also been very focussed on tracking the WEB 2.0/Social Networking Services sector.

I was very excited whejn I bumped into your site - and immediately Chris Morrison to it. ooooby is right in synch with emerging trends (sustainability, community, sustainability, affordability). The anawer I am looking for - is how will you monetise it while maintaining confidence of the ooooby community.

If I come up with any ideas - I'll let know.

Regards

Mark
