The Idea
A pre-RFID personal inventory system that allows people to manually enter their personal inventory of physical assets into a website, but with a strong slant towards becoming an RFID-based service once RFID"s become more widespread. In a pre-RFID world, the site would be useful for tracking things that you loan out, that you have spread out in multiple locations (eg, your fishtank is in your friend"s garage until you move into a bigger place), or things that you suspect have been stolen or lost. In a post-RFID world, the site would integrate with net connected RFID door scanners and could track whenever tagged items enter or leave your house. Or you could walk around with a net connected hand-held scanner and do an inventory check of your things. If your social network all had their RFID scanners connected to the central website, you could track your loaned out things as they made their way around your social network using a Google maps mashup.
I thought of this idea when I was...
... moving.
