G&T 2: Collaborative Consumption companies

After watching Rachel Botsman's TED talk entitled “The case for collaborative consumption”, you will research a company/website/game/organization based around the idea of collaborative consumption. You will present for 5 minutes on Wednesday 3/23 about your topic. Your presentation should include what the company does, who founded it, where it was founded, profit (if any), number of users/site traffic, and any additional information you find to be particularly interesting or surprising. You should also write a blog post highlighting your company and what it does. Please briefly summarize and link to the TED talk in your blog post as well.
