Hello chaps.

My aunt, in her infinite wisdom, has ploughed money into this new business venture of hers.

Lost & Found | Losers Weepers

Essentially it's a big lost & found for the nation. We all know it's a silly idea, but that won't stop her. I promised her I'd spread the link about in return for money if it does well, and the proviso I can mock her when it goes under.

So have a look and if you've lost something on the tube or whatever, it might be worth a go!

I lost a £10 note down the back of my sofa! If it turns up on there I'll be most impressed :D

Proof there are worse website ideas than "OMG its another silly cat pictures site".

Enjoy gloating: taking bets on when she gives up? (Thats likely to be more profitable than the actual site :p )

I've no idea. I'll ask her when I next see her! I She's had an article in the Evening Standard and James Whale mentioned the website on his radio programme! It may very well be the next Youtube/Myspace. If it does well, I'll buy everyone presents. :)

I really cant see it taking off. It needs some listings to start with and it appears to have none.

I've got this site where you can filter for members under 16 years of age. It will become the next MySpace.

I keep trying to put up a listing but I'm not sure what category it should go under. You see, much like your aunt, I've lost my mind! ;)

Yep cal, thats why the site will fail (apart from it being an awful idea). The actual listings are too hard to find.

I told my aunt about the search problems (which I encountered too) and her response was that it was made quite specific because when (if) it becomes more populated, they don't want people trawling through a huge list of stuff to find anything. But yeah when it's fairly dead it seems silly to have it be so picky.

It's started off slowly, but she expects that and it's not as if she's remortgaged her house or anything as it's just a side project. :) Frankly I couldn't give a flying fuck! But as I'm the most technically savvy person in my family tree (that should give you some idea of the sort of people I'm related to) she keeps bugging me about it.

Is she going to try and get on Dragons Den? Lots of easy advertising that way. If she does, and the business takes off, I will then require 10% of the business as recompense for my consultancy fee.

At this rate your 10% will mean you paying her money.

No offense buddy but tell her she should check the site for marbles, cause she's obviously lost hers!

That one's been done already, Bahumat.
