"Zilok, the service that lets you offer items for rental to others, is officially launching its site in the US.  We first heard about Zilok through our French counterparts over at Mashable France, which highlighted Zilok as an alternative to purchasing items, and a highly localized service.  \nThis is all well and true, but there's another component to its service that Zilok is hoping to push with its US launch: a green lifestyle.  In a similar manner to the concept of sharing rides through carpooling or a service like iGo, Zilok encourages the rental mentality on a micro-economy scale.  \n\nAs I mentioned in my initial review of Zilok, I also focused on Zilok's ability to create an additional stream of income by offering up items for rental to others.  It's this data that I'm personally interested in learning about; as more users take advantage of Zilok's service, Zilok will gain a unique perspective on supply and demand for items.  \nAs you can see in the video below (taken at Web 2.0 Expo), Zilok will be offering additional tools for the personalized and potentially money-making world of rentals.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
