WartVid launched
I created a system for lending and borrowing DVDs within the Wartburg community. The result: WartVid!
Here’s the announcement:
Greetings fellow students!
Realizing that many of us have prodigious DVD collections that often times collect dust, I have created WartVid, a simple website to coordinate lending and borrowing DVDs from other people in the Wartburg community.
It’s very easy to use – just create your account here: http://www.wartvid.com/signup and then (optionally) type in your DVD collection, one DVD per line (and try to capitalize correctly). Then you can browse other people’s movies, pick out ones you would like to borrow, and request them. It’s up to you to get in touch with the lender to get the DVDs, but the website coordinates the contact information for you.
When someone borrows your DVDs, you can keep track of who has what at all times. When you receive a DVD back, check it in to your library. The system sends emails to coordinate lending and borrowing, so please enter an email address you check regularly.
Best of all, WartVid is completely free. The service has been in alpha testing for a few weeks, and it has performed well. In fact, there are already 260 movies available for you to borrow for free right now.
I hope you enjoy WartVid. Please feel free to email me with questions, suggestions, or bug reports.
Peace,
Ted Carnahan, M.Div junior
