Build Trust Networks and Start Exchanging Products, Services, and Reviews Safely

Aqqaint, Inc. has announced the launch of its new social app, which provides its members with the ability to build trust networks to exchange products, services and reviews — available in the Apple App Store and the Android Market. Aqqaint members can join for free and begin connecting with people they trust. Unlike traditional peer-to-peer exchanges where users exchange with strangers based on location, Aqqaint’s trust networks never extend beyond a second-degree connection from any given member. So users can rest easy knowing they have a mutual connection with anyone they might come into contact with.

Hailed as “Craigslist meets LinkedIn,” Aqqaint helps people buy and sell used goods, offer services and share reviews without sacrificing trust. With the app, members will be able to discover relationships to their powerful first and second-degree connections to find an item or service they have been looking for, while individuals who shop online can share honest product and service reviews with friends and family and stop relying on the fake or incentivized reviews found on popular review and e-commerce sites. Trusted networks also help to foster a more collaborative environment for those who may choose to loan or rent items to one another instead of purchasing them outright.

“Community trust has been the foundation of any successful sharing economy from Mesopotamia to the Modern Age,” said Steve Garofano, CEO and co-founder of Aqqaint, Inc. “Only recently have we accepted stranger-based, peer-to-peer exchanges to become the new normal, and it has resulted in scams, thefts and other problems. Ultimately, it’s time to integrate community back into the equation.”
