Talk:Home exchange

Agencies
Whilst free home exchange agencies may attract high membership numbers, agencies who require their members to pay a small fee for membership believe that they achieve higher exchange success rates because their members, having been willing to pay a subscription to participate, are more committed to the concept of home exchange and seriously researching home swap opportunities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sqawain (talk • contribs) 20:21, February 5, 2007 (UTC)

Notability
I would like to suggest that the tag questioning the notability of this article be removed. The article refers to at least four independent references to house swapping which can be considered evidence of the notability of the topic. If nothing else, it has been useful for my own research, so thank you very much to the author of the article.

March 2008 Clean-Up
I blew up the article as it was not written in an encyclopedic format. I have devoted it to the two main trends in house swapping: vacation and the transfer of home ownership and sourced them accordingly. I also included a minor mention of the concept as it exists to avoid sectarian violence in Iraq. I did not want to wake the stale debate about external links but I believe there are far too many companies involved to list any one of the trading/commercial sites, but the referenced news articles link to most if the reader wants more information.

and it's definitely notable. TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 21:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
