A few weeks ago Drew notified the community about an update to the PLU website Feed.
He posted:

I went to the PLU Community Feed and posted:

Within a few hours we had positive replies from five different members in Belgium.
Within 16 hours we had a finalised exchange.
What is this if not magic?
Glenn and I have well over 400 nights of home exchange on PLU, and at least half as many on a smaller site. We’ve had swaps come together quickly and others that required considerable time. What we have never before encountered is a process that matches exchangers so efficiently.
Lest you think this will prohibit the natural course of conversation, it doesn’t! The only piece that is removed is the slog of finding a date/location fit. Once that’s done, you can invest in developing the personal connection.
I cannot believe how effective this new feature is.
Try it when planning your next trip! 🏡
