www.neighborrow.com is an online community built around and among existing traditional physical communities for the purposes of (among other things) borrowing, lending, trading and maximizing the use and value of "things." neighborrow combines the traditional notion of borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor and uses the Internet for easier tracking, inventory, accountability metrics, social networking, trust, organization etc.

Great. I've been playing around with stuff like this for a few years, but nothing seems to have caught on (Distributed Library Project, Open Media-lending database). I hope this one works better. I was thinking that something like this would be good if it were integrated with a social-networking system (Friendster, MySpace, etc).

Easy to do offline, like when you need some sugar. Sounds like a real pain in the butt to go to a website instead of calling your neighbor and asking, especially the accounting. Easier to forget about it! Wanna argue about sugar debts?
