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 platform could simplify the process.

Yes I just let people send message to each other at the moment. I allow people messaging each other without "claiming" it, do you think it's good idea? Is there any suggestion for me to promote this platform? Thank you so much :)

Thanks! I put it up as a quick weekend project about 3 months ago.

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.
