Timeo is an idea for a time bank API. It allows any software platform to enable their users paying using time. The time of a user can be later on sold to third parties in order collect more time for one particular activity. Each user specifies what kind of activities he/she allows Timeo to use. This way users is sure that when he wants to payback the dept he made he will only do the tasks that are aligned with his morality and are not tiring him.

1. Welcome to Timeo
Your time is valuable!

2. Do you share your knowledge with others?
How many times you replied to a question on
Stackoverflow, Quora, Facebook?
How does it feels to help others?
GREAT!
WONDERFUL!
GIVES FUN!

3. Do you know that you give something to others?
Lets say one answer takes 6 minutes of your time...
If you did that at least 2 times in a day...
This means that you gave to others 6 hour of your life in a month.
This is very generous!

4. You also get something from others
Each day when you browse the Internet you
scan loads of free content. This is great!
But do you know that you pay for it by viewing their commercials, allowing
them to make you a target for personalized ads, screening your mailbox
content etc?
So what should you do? Put comercials on your blog and keep this
vicious circle spinning? Or beg for money like Wikipedia does it?
It is not really for free...
There is better way...
