Who here uses the internet to empower people by solving a problem or creating an opportunity?

Hey everyone,

One area I find interesting is how you can empower people using the internet, to allow them to solve a certain problem or create an opportunity for them.

That is why I love researching sites such as fiverr, kickstarter and freelance websites. They provide a solution to a problem or allow an opportunity to present itself.

One of the best parts about this is how they monetize themselves. Most of these sites will take a small cut out of the exchange of goods from seller to buyer creating a situation where everyone is satisfied.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying anything new here. However I am creating this post to see if any of you guys know of any other websites that has solved a certain problem or created an opportunity for people. If you have, I would love it if you could post a link for me to check out.

Like I mentioned previously, I find it fascinating!

p.s - Please don't post your own sites (apparently mods don't like that, which is understandable).

    This is a thread that may not survive the mod's knife, because it encourages people to self promote themselves and it could go ugly fast.

    I have done it before, but I won't share it in this thread.

    Ah I see... in that case I will change it asking whether anyone knows of any other websites that fall into this category that you don't own.

    That cool?
