If you have old CDs, DVDs, Video games and other stuff, now is your chance to exchange them for something else that you need. I found this site called SwitchPlanet that lets you put your old and unwanted CDs, DVDs, video games and similar stuff to good use. You dont have to throw them away… this makes for a great eco friendly practice.

SwitchPlanet is a social media trading website where members can switch their old DVDs, CDs, Games and Books with other members for free. Social tools such as friends, groups and forums are available to help members communicate between trades.

Members also support various charities via our SwitchFunds program. The service is free, so if you find it useful, you are encouraged to make a small donation. This donation goes to charity. I also found that the "buy it" buttons link to amazon. This is also one way to help fund the site.Switch planet is a great way to enjoy media/entertainment for the cost of postage.

More on Switch Planet:
Use more…waste less! The idea is simple but the end result is amazing. Members save money by trading the things they already have but no longer use to get the things they need. One person gets rid of something taking up space in their home and another person benefits by filling a need…so everyone wins.

Most importantly SwitchPlanet was built to help an even greater need. Because SwitchPlanet is free to use members are given the option to donate any amount they choose every time they receive something for free on the SwitchPlanet Network. These donations are put into a SwitchFund that is then distributed among selected charities and non-profit organizations.

“I want this thing to be huge so the positive impact it has on society is also huge,” states Founder, Chris Samarin, “If we can get millions of people using the site and donating on average $1 per month, wow, we can sure help a lot of people if that happens.”

Gulfstream Internet (www.GulfstreamInternet.com) wants to spread the word about its site, iPodSweepstakes.com. Most free iPod offers make it very difficult to ever get an iPod. iPodSweepstakes.com gives away a free iPod every single day. There's nothing to buy, no credit card needed and you don't have to refer your friends. In addition to winning an iPod, members can earn a free iPod by completing simple offers like taking a survey or requesting free information. Gulfstream Internet has been in business for 7 years and owns 6 rewards sites. We have given away more than 3,000 free iPods so far.

Get a Free iPod from iPodSweepstakes.com Now!

The process is simple:

1. Select the color of the iPod you want
2. Enter your email address.
3. Login using the email address you choose.

The login form then goes to more registration detail. And this is where i got stuck. It only allows US state and zip. I live outside of the US. Does this mean that the contest is for US residents only?

It seems that you have to earn 1000 points to be eligible for the iPod. You earn 200 points just by registering. The rest is by clicking on ads on the spot. You go and visit the websites listed there and you start accumulating the points.
This is a great web promotion idea.
