Found Magazine Review

FOUND Magazine has been one of my favorite sites for years, and what's really cool is that the creator of the site branched out and made print versions for a magazine subscription and a book.  It's great to watch someone take a really fresh, simple idea and see how it explodes over time.

The premise of the site is just what its name says:  Found.  Know how you check out a book from the library sometimes, and you might find a note, a shopping list, or a picture left in the pages by the last reader?  It's objects just like these that FOUND Magazine lives to catalog.  There's nothing you won't see on this site:  breakup notes, notes passed in class, lost photographs, postcards, old ticket stubs, birthday cards,  you name it.

The author is still accepting submissions, so the next time you find something random somewhere, scan it and send it to him!  There is always a "Find of the Day," and you can view FOUND archives and recent entries.  There is also a FOUND tour, so the site creator could even be coming to your area.

It's a great site that you could easily spend an hour or so skimming through, and once you get going, you might not want to stop.  Totally worth a place in your Favorites folder.

P.S. there is also a "Dirty Found" for those more mature-themed, NSFW finds.  If you're feeling bold...
