Keep Track of Your Things via MyThings

Online registry of personal possessions makes U.S. debut

Thanks to a new service launched in the U.S. today, keeping tabs on your stuff is now a literal virtual reality. MyThings, a service launched in the U.K. last year, made its official U.S. debut today. The company says its online registry is a one-stop shop for managing and protecting valuable belongings.

The service not only allows users to create a registry of their possessions, but it allows them access to vital statistics, pricing and appraisals pertaining to those items. Terapeak, CNET Channel, and GoAntiques and Shopping.com (eBay sites) are among the partners involved with MyThings.

MyThings Inc. also provides a service called Trace at Trace.com, an online database of lost and stolen valuables. Trace integrates information from over 50 sources, including local, national, and international law enforcement, plus members of MyThings.
