WhoAreYou-WhereAreYou.com - Find The Missing

Milk box cartons, if you recall, often worked double duty; besides holding your calcium enriched milk, they depicted photos of missing children. People searching site Who Are You Where Are You has taken that milk box into etherspace. The site already features a handful of photographs of lost treasures and unknown people. If you’ve got a photo of some long lost cousin that you’ve wanted to get in contact with, post it to Who Are You. Perhaps someone has the answer you’ve been looking for. Refine your search with filters: category, country, century, age and month. Upon registration you’ll be able to search and respond to images on the site.

“Welcome to the site where you can search for anyone and anything. Upload a photo and you can use the search box to define who or what you want to find. We all have old photos of unknown people, heirlooms, possessions and events, where we need to know how they relate to us. Free Registration enables you to search and respond to any image on the site. Subscribe and get 12 months FREE subscription and 10 photo uploads so you can create albums of images directly related to you personally, and anyone can post a response to the question your image is asking, missing or unknown.”

The site has a solid concept. Images or photos, as the saying goes, are worth more than a thousand words. If the site reaches critical mass, it could very well be incredibly useful for locating everything lost.

The registration/subscription reqs might deter users from actually participating on the site. Who Are You depends on numbers, will it be able to attract a large enough audience to be effective?
