What’s your thing? Whatever it is, Thingfo will help you create and share information about the things that are important in your life. Maybe you’ve heard of the “internet of things” concept. Wikipedia’s latest entry says:

the Internet of Things refers to a, usually wireless and self-configuring, network between objects, such as household appliances.

Wow. Sounds… super boring. There are way more interesting explanations for the concept, such as Bruce Sterling’s SXSW 2006 keynote on Spimes and the Internet of things). And it’s not that self-configuring toaster networks won’t do wonders for our lives. They probably will, especially for those involved in manufacturing these toasters.

But I digress.

One of the ideas behind Thingfo is that the “internet of things” is going to revolve around people as much as it does around things. Since we don’t want to wait for the toasters to wire themselves up, we figured we can help get things started.

What are the things that are important to you? To the people around you? Thingfo will help you organize, share and broadcast information about your things - even if those things turn out to be self-networking toasters.

We’re currently testing the service, and looking for feedback and suggestions. If you’re interested, get in touch or ask for an invite.
