Computer Support Blog

Members of small communities and neighborhoods often look out for each other when problems arise.  Whether someone has been the victim of a crime or lost something important to them, such as a valuable possession or a pet, neighbors are usually willing to provide aid in some way.  People usually help out by posting flyers or going around the community and asking questions, hopefully piecing together enough information to assist the person in trouble.  Cool person in technology Jay Sebben wants to use technology and the web to help people within these communities assist each other.  Sebben’s company Crowdfynd provides people with a platform where they can post ads about lost items, safety issues, suspicious activities or anything else they feel would be good for the neighborhood.  People can browse Crowdfynd to find ways to help each other out.  People can also find out if anyone has found their lost items by checking the Crowdfynd website or mobile apps.  Any less technically inclined users who would like to use Crowdfynd to help their community can contact remote computer support services for help getting started.

Crowdfynd posts are more useful than items like printed flyers for several reasons.  For example, Sebben has made it so users can geotag lost item or pet posts with their most recent known locations.  People can also tag specific locations when reporting suspicious activities that others should be aware of in a certain spot of the neighborhood.  Crowdfynd also lets people offer rewards for the return of lost items or pets and tracks how many people successfully collect rewards through the site.  Sebben also collaborates with event venues, animal shelters, and other community organizations to help people when trying to find lost items and animals.

Crowdfynd is available on mobile but only has an iPhone app at the moment.  They are advertising for the upcoming release of an Android app as well.  For now, those who want help downloading the app will need to contact Apple tech support.

Jay Sebben has extensive experience working leadership positions throughout his career.  Before taking the helm at Crowdfynd, this cool person was the founder of QuickVid, an early player in the DVD rental kiosk business, in 2002. Sebben also stepped in as president of Nature’s American Company, a natural food company, in 2005.  He is also currently president of EDC Technology, a niche educational tech company, while still maintaining his duties at Crowdfynd.  Sebben’s impressive record as a business leader should give people hope that Crowdfynd will continue to find success as a company.
