I think this is a great area to work on. I set up something similar myself but just for cameras/photos - FoundCamera.com So far I've found that a bigger proportion of items are reported lost than found however I guess that shouldn't be an issue on tgifound as people can return anything. How are you facilitating the reunion of objects - do you just let people send messages to each other?
Hey FoundCamera.com is well cool! How long have you put this live? Yes I love helping people and I agree this is a great area to work on :) I have not introduce "Report Lost" because people don't tend to browse what have someone else lost, and even if I do browse it I might not lucky enough to come across it. I think everyone want to help everyone, but that depends on how easy it is, so I hope this mobile app platfor…
I wanted to make it easy to comment, list & help out. The thing Ive realized about this type of site is that it needs the power of the crowd to review the posts & recognize people in photos. That's what I'm working on now.
