The Canberra based Yoink! is very excited to be a rare Australian entry at the Webby awards.

We were really flattered to find out that Yoink has been nominated for Best Green Website in the Webby Awards!

We’re up against much bigger sites so need all the help we can get voting in the People’s Choice section. We’ve seen your passion about reuse and free stuff, now channel it into growing Yoink to be even better by making your vote count!

Yoink basically tells you what’s in your neighbourhood that other people are trying to get rid of, and works on iPhones.

Tomorrow I’m off to collect a frisbee from Dickson sporting the legend “Clamydia, it’s easy to catch”. Thanks Yoink.

Best of luck to them at the awards though.

Here’s hoping Yoink! doesn’t go the way of Freecycle, with most of the ‘ads’ really being requests from scabs:

“Yeah, I’m a single muvva wiv a disability, an’ I need a free computer for my dorta who…um, like, also has a disability – prefer laptop, 15.4″ WS, minimum P4, 1gb RAM, ATI Radeon 512mb, 160gb HDD, XP SP3 or later.”
