Online Inventory System

When I was a kid, my family lost all our belongings in a fire that destroyed our house. Trying to make a list of everything you owned and it's value can be a bit of a process, but well worth it if you every find youself in this position. For many of us, we would create a list of everything on our computer - but what if your computer gets stolen?

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.comStuffSafe (http://www.stuffsafe.com) is a free online tool that provides you with a way to store your home/work inventory of your possessions with photos and value information. You can share your list so a group of you can work on keeping the list up to date. In addition to having a secure copy available online, you can also download a copy of the information for your own backup.

Tip: if nothing else, every six months go through and shoot all the items in your house and then upload the photos to an online service like Flikr or Picassa. That way, you'll at least have the photos to help jog your memory when you create your list of items lost.
