1. Samsung Replenish: At the Sprint table several devices were displayed showing off the new Green ID pack including the new Samsung Replenish.
2. SodaStream: We enjoyed sipping some delicious pear soda from the new Fizz machine from SodaStream. How is SodaStream green? All SodaStream soda makers come with reusable bottles that last up to 3 years! Great for staying hydrated at your desk.
3. HP EliteBook Notebook Computers: These unibody aluminum laptops with built in energy monitoring software cut a sharp figure and reminded us of a more boxy MacBook Pro.
4. The 4th Bin: We’re not going to lie, it was the vintage mobile phone that brought us to The 4th Bin table to learn about their electronic recycling services they offer in NYC.
5. Philips LED Lighting: At Philips we checked out the Imageo CandleLights and the new color changing lights.
6. ThinkEco Modlet: The Modlet by ThinkEco helps you to be aware of your energy consumption by simply plugging your electronics into the Modlet device and using the PC software to track and monitor (Mac software is coming soon).
7. Camileo BW10: In addition to showing off their laptops and mobile monitor, Toshiba also had the new Camileo BW10 on display, a tiny waterproof HD camcorder that records in full 1080p.
8. Pixi Lighting: These LED lights offered quite a soft glow which reminded us of the warm glow of incandescent bulbs.

I’ve used Facebook for a variety of ways to exactly to this. In fact, I was able to do even more. I’ve found apartments and roommates this way. Donating or selling old tech is really easy if you you’ve got a number of contacts in your social networking circle. The easiest way is to simply put it in your status update directly. A simple sentence will do.

If you need to do more, then you can always place a ad in the Marketplace section (for Facebook) or similar section in other social networking sites. One of the reasons why this works well is because your Facebook friends might have similar interests, so they’ll be interested in getting vintage video game consoles, cameras, etc.

People are always interested in getting second hand tech because it’s a lot cheaper than buying new stuff. I always keep an eye open for DSLRs and laptops. A lot of users tend to upgrade their tech frequently, which means that you can probably snag a year old laptop at a significant discount. The same is true for DSLRs.

That being said, leveraging your social network to marshal up some interest in some stuff that you want to sell or get rid off is usually acceptable, except if you do it all of the time. I usually use it when I purge or move and need to get rid of stuff. Believe me, people are also glad to pick up stuff for free. So before you ferry off your stuff to a recycling center or try to find a way to donate them away, make a status update to see who will come by and pick it up for free. If you struck out at this, you can try the Freecyle Network.
