and my link is my project in INDIA. this is for female street vendors in INDIA,

because of i’ve seen your project, i should try to make the version for showing them, explaining new way,
using more and more understandable information, using not printing media….
your project is so nice inspiration for me, thanks!!

Im am a disablrd veteran food vendor for the past 44 yeears. Although I have a license and permit, many disabled vets are being discouraged to become a food vendor because the city hides behind the additional 100 permits that are offered to disabled veterans, disabled people, and veterans. The city tells the disabled vets that they can only be on the special 100 permit waiting list and they can not draw a permit from the 3000 issued permits. I know for a fact that the general public are winning permits almost daily from the city’s lottery, while a disabled veteran has not been issued a permit since 2005. Although sate and city laws state the preferace for disabled veterans, the city does nothing to help them. Any thoughts or comments you may have on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris

Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way I can find out the names and locations of book vendors on the streets of NY? Do you know where I could find out such information?

I want to drive by each and try to sell them my new book.

Thanks in advance
Andrea

Dear Sir,

I came accross your website!

Some years ago I started a website http://www.streetvendors.info a portal from and for street vendors, world wide.

My aim is to help young and starting entrepreneurs to give them to possibility to get a free access to find markets, festivals and all kinds of information to promote their products.

There are many youngsters, with so many nice ideas, self made products, acts or musicians, traveling arround the world not realy having any idea where to go or what all the problems, possibilities or rules are. For most cities in Europe, you need a licence to be a street vendor. But their are so many markets and evnts where travelers can sell their product or do their act. Many Europeans go to the USA Australia, India or Asia, during the winter and visa versa. Where to go? Streetvendors can be a solution!

I like to connect all street vendors actors, musicians and give them access to our site to give them the possibility to “link” their websites for free to promote their products.

(To place a link is free, for the time being and in future we will charge a small fee to place banners)

In return, anyone can donate information, as upcoming events, photo’s, anecdotes, funny stories or warnings about police actions where street selling is prohobited.

I should highly appriciate to place my link at your website and like to ask you if you want to place ours in return too?

I should realy like that starting entrepreneurs will find each other and get knowlage of products abroad and the way of trade in other countries!

Awaiting your reply,

Thank you and best regards,

Hey Birdon – thanks! That’s a great analogy, how can we design better UI and UX for navigating your rights and understanding of the city… I’m trying to find more ways to do projects like this, one step at a time… Keep in touch!

Hello from Sweden!

I found you on TED and that your location is not so far from mine!

This is a fantastic project!
I always think that the society is like a cellphone or computer interface in the sense that the society also need more design factors for people to live comfortably in. But the laws and policies are so tedious for an average person to follow that they seem to be made for people to break and get fined. Something really should be done about it!

This project is fantastic. It is one step forward to turning an ideology into reality!
I hope there will be more projects like this everywhere in the world.

Wish you every success!
