I could really use a piece of software that helped keep track of all my junk. For most stuff, it would probably be enough to record that I simply have it. For sentimental items or things of significant financial worth, additional information-tracking like approximate cost, source, where the heck I’m keeping it, and so forth could be specified as well.
It would be even nicer if, when I go to make a purchase online, the software would tell me if what I’m about to buy matches anything in my inventory history. This could reduce redundant purchases as well as remind me of particularly good or bad deals in the past.
Gift ideas could comprise another application. Finding stuff to throw out to save space is yet another. Web interaction with a larger group of people, perhaps for barter, is also within the realm of imagine-ability.
