I'm jealous of all of the OCD people who are really excited for this kind
of extreme organizing. Who is going to actually do this? Sure, I've eaten
adderols and imagined I would carefully catalogue all of my belongings, but
I've also smoked DMT and imagined I saw the real face of the universe. This
is a drug fantasy!! This is as crazy as when stoner hippies think they are
going to make a new society. This is an example of the bay area's very
advanced drug culture.

And Other Stuff With Friends
http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/21/google-is-reportedly-working-on-a-service-…
Google is apparently working on an app called Google Mine that is meant to
help you share real-world items, such as CDs, cars, bikes, gadgets or
clothes, with your friends. The service, which is apparently closely
integrated with Google+, is said to be in private beta testing within
Google right now.
According to Chitu, the service also allows you to catalog your
belongings, review them (which could be cool for purchases) and send
requests to borrow stuff from friends. There also seems to be something
akin to a wish list and a feature that will allow you to share a list of
items you don’t want to share but just want to give away. All of this
sharing, of course, happens on Google+.

The service, the report says, is available on the web and through an
Android app. The app also supposedly includes a 3D viewer that’ll show you
your objects, though it’s not clear how you would get these models into the
app.
Google is obviously not the only company interested in this kind of
real-world tracking. Mine <http://getmine.com/>, a startup that launched
last

and
that probably doesn’t have the exact same name by coincidence, is also
working on giving its users the ability to track the things they own, but
with a focus on what they’ve bought online. This service, though, seems to
be more focused on e-commerce than on the sharing economy.
