Ever loose your iPod, Flashdrive or digital camera? Don’t feel bad, so I have I. Last summer I lost a flashdrive and my daughter lost her digital camera all in one week! Needless to say no one was likely to turn either one of them in. Now a new company named ihoundsoftware is coming to the rescue. ihound software developed a small download that you upload to your digital device. If the device gets lost and is subsequently plugged into a device that is connected to the Internet, like an iPod or camera or flashdirve is likely to be, iHound will contact authorities and to help you reclaim your device by locating the device via the Internet address of the computer your device is plugged into. A bit “Flash Gordon meets Big Brother” but hey… it’s your device! iHound tracks your Internet usage but claims it will not use it for ill will or advertising. Let me know if you find this interesting or if you’ve used it.
