LeWeb 2013: EasyBring – Crowdsourcing Mail

EasyBring is like an Airbnb for mail – or a crowdsourced courier.

If you’re heading somewhere, advertise that fact on EasyBring and if you’re picked to take a package somewhere, you can pay for your trip and earn money on top.

But what if you are being asked to deliver drugs – or a bomb? Those might be the first obvious objections, but EasyBring’s Erland Bakke has answers. The trust-based shared courier service is going well in Norway, he says – and he has ambitions to bring it to the rest of the world.
