Media Chest

Mediachest “allows members to manage their collections of books, DVDs, CDs and video games by creating a personal library. The site facilitates both the borrowing and lending of these items in a fashion similar to online auctions — without the fees. Mediachest’s system offers, free of charge, user profiles, feedback pages and popularity rankings. Employing “2-way borrows” ensures that the system is not abused. Mediachest members can search and view other members’ collections based on a variety of categories including personal friend groups, geographic proximity (via zip code), or other external groups such as student organizations, university departments, work place groups and more.”

If anything, this is just an impressive way to organize your own library of books, CDs, and DVDs. That it can be used to keep track of materials lent and borrowed is an added bonus. I’m just shocked that this site has been around for 2 years and I hadn’t come across it until tonight. (link via Dolla Bizz)
