"Lost, Now Found is a very strange mixture of the things people usually discard or forget that years later have at least a novelty value, if not some real historical interest, to them: a 1956 advertisement for a gas stove; a World War I soldier's "small book"; postcards from illicit holidays showing that people in the 1900s were not as straight-laced as we think; and receipts for amounts that now seem tiny but were once a lot of money.    

It's an odd collection, one minute fascinating, the next banal but always something worth seeing. Posterous Spaces are an ideal (and easy!) way of displaying these lost items and automatically telling friends across social networks where to find each one. In turn, friends comment, retweet and like the posts and the word spreads. One day, Posterous will reunite someone with something they've lost that I've now found. I can't wait! "
