Swap bot - Internet Swapping Robot

Swap bot is the latest in swapping technology. Started in 2005 by Rachel and Travis Johnson it is one of the coolest sites online. If you craft, pen pal, or blog swap this is the perfect place for you.

Before swap-bot if you wanted to conduct a swap you would gather the names of the participants and then using your genius and referee skills assign partners to others. With Swap-bot you no longer have to do that work.

You host a swap, approve participants, and then Click Assign Partners and the technology does all the work for you. It even sends reminders to all your participants.

Peace Swap

Hosted by Greenwoodtree

I loved this swap. My partner (the hostess) sent me a wonder plaque of PEACE. It is a circle painted with the 'Earth' and surrounded by gun shells that she got from a nearby hunters area and Flowers are growing out of the shells. The shells are in the form of a PEACE SIGN. It is hanging on my wall in the living room because I think she did a perfect job in displaying what peace really is. Peace can happen even in the midst of 'gun shells'.

PHOTO: This is my Peace project that I sent my partner. I crocheted a prayer shawl - all the while praying for my partner and her family and friends. I then added the word Shalom (peace) and a Peace sign so that when she cuddles up in the shawl she will be wrapped in my prayers of Peace for her and the ones she loves.

    Sorry to hear about your experience with swapbot. I have been flaked on a number of times but I also know what to look for now in swaps. I check all participants and have created a number of groups with people I know to be honest swappers. Now, some may consider that a clique but really it's just me saving my time and money and swapping with people who play fair.

    Give it another go and don't judge the entire site by the bad 'apples' that are out there.

    I'm on swapbot since hm...January 2008.
    Before I decide to do a single swap I first join and on the second last day I check all the profiles of the swap participants.

    So far I didn't made bad experience and I really love swapbot. I'm from Europe and joined an European Group on swap bot. The European swaps start to grow and that's really great because all the good swaps are mostly in the USA and the postage is nearly killing me.

    Well...it's a lot of fun for me :o)

    I've been 2 months but I've dropped a lot of the swaps I was in because of the cliques and rude people. I have not had any personal issues but I have seen what they have done to other people. I'm going to stay and do my groups swaps and a few personal ones, but other than that I am going to avoid it. I am disgusted with the behavior on the site. I love swapping and I am hoping to find another site or group with nicer people.

    I really loved swap-bot at first, until I was taken advantage of several times. It's also very cliqish, and people can be very hurtful and rude. Be sure you really check people out before you commit to any swap, even the swap host!!
