CYNF Team Blog

Hello again,

Yes we have been busy. There is now a new help button on CYNF HQ to replace the old one. This one is a little more "visible" on the page, but hopefully not too distracting.

In addition we have re-written all 26 pop-up help pages in CYNF. These as I am sure you will agree are a great improvement over the previous ones. Here are some examples:

• My CYNF

• My Assets
• Network Assets
• Loans
• Invite Friends
• Add Assets

Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Best regards,

Andrew

CYNF now has a new homepage. We think it is better and more clearly describes our service.

Let us know what you think.

Next is the revisions to the help pages, a demo/screenshot tour and more content.

Cheers

Andrew

Have you ever lost books?
With CYNF it is no longer possible to lose track of what you have lent to whom, all loans are calendarised and e-mail reminders sent every 4 days. No embarrassing, "Your know that book I lent, well er, can I have it back, please." Let CYNF do the pestering for you.

Do you buy the same books your friend buys?
With CYNF as soon as your friend enters that book into CYNF you are notified, so that you do not replicate that purchase. Imagine what you and your family can save if you only shared books! Let alone, movies, books, games, software, tools...

Do you know what your friends have they are willing to lend?
With CYNF you and your friends list all the items that they are willing to lend. And because each person decides up front what access they give their friends there is no embarrassment in asking to borrow something. With CYNF you can also arrange reciprocal loans easily.

Do you want an excuse to catch up with friends regularly?
CYNF gives you another good reason to catch up. To share resources, be they notes, books, training tapes, software, equipment, CDs, DVDs, BBQs, Gardening Tools etc.

Do you want to make use of those items just gathering dust?
Create reciprocal obligation by listing and lending all those items that are just gathering dust. That spare monitor you are unlikely to need -- lend it to a friend, they probably have a printer or fax machine they are not using. In the process congratulate yourself on helping to improve our environment by using what we already have.

Do you want to grow your network of friends and increase your virtual library at the same time?
CYNF is flexible, it lets you grow your network and benefit from your wider social network by borrowing and lending from friends of friends.

Do you have a list of all the books, CDs, DVDs, software and games for your house and contents insurance? Do you have it valued?
I do, its literally in the palm of my hand. I have downloaded the complete list from CYNF in Microsoft Excel format and put it on my Tungsten palm device. I know that my CD collection is worth $ X and my DVDs $Y. I can e-mail that list to insurers and elsewhere. CYNF also provides an invisible flag against an item so that it is available for your valuation and listing but none of your friends can see it.

Do you have warranty details and serial numbers recorded?
I do, CYNF lets you record all details of the purchase of items. I have every serial number of the hardware and software I own, online available worldwide 24/7. I know when the warranty on my notebook expires, so I know when to make sure I get that faulty hard drive fixed.

Do you want to sell or swap items amongst your friends?
If you don't want to lend an item, you can put it on a list to sell or swap. But unlike online classifieds, this only lets your friends see this, so that you do not get those phone calls at 4am on a Sunday! Unlike eBay it is very simple, just flag the item as one you are willing to sell/swap and CYNF will reveal this to your secure network of friends.

Do you have a holiday house or something else you share with friends and relatives?
Well with CYNF you have a fully calendarised booking system, you can reserve it for the school holidays and let your relatives book on a first come first served basis.

Trust some friends and relatives differently to others?
With CYNF you do not have to trust everyone the same, with its patent pending security system you can assign people different trust levels and they get to see only what you want them to see. So if you trust your family to see everything and your colleagues at work less, that is OK and handled with ease within CYNF. CYNF provides asymmetric security -- meaning that if they trust you with everything, you do not have to trust them to the same extent. CYNF protects your privacy -- if you do not trust someone they can not see you items or your e-mail address.

Do you have a shared household? Or want to keep track of items separately?
With CYNF you can, either each person in the house can have their own account, or alternatively you can have multiple locations defined so that you can record that the asset is in the holiday house.


As you can see, CYNF is a complete secure and flexible solution for your lending and borrowing needs. Coupled with its powerful asset management tools it is the system of choice for individuals looking to improve their control and use of personal resources.
