Was asked about this recently. Three reasons I prefer Scoodi over Freecycle:
- With Freecycle I drown under the volume of email. With Scoodi, I have more options to tailor the way I hear about new listings (finer granularity on my geographical area, email, RSS, etc). I find RSS more useful than email for notifications like this.
- Freecycle doesn't work well if there are no takers at the time an item is posted to the mailing list. Scoodi provides a solution for this case. It was designed to be a big searchable/browsable inventory of available stuff near you.
- Scoodi has free and 'for sale' stuff on the same site, where as Freecycle is only for free items. I find this convenient, as an item is still being recycled/re-used whether it changed hands for free or if there was money involved.
