Rumgr recreates the feeling of a garage sale with an iOS app, letting users find stuff locally. It’s a little bit like Craigslist
Who doesn’t love a good garage sale? There is something thrilling about finding a book or collectable you’ve been looking for for years — and of course, it’s gratifying to sell it, too. A new app call Rumgr recreates the feeling of a garage sale with an iOS app, letting users find stuff locally. It’s a little bit like Craigslist, but without the extra categories or useless descriptions.
Rumgr, created by Dylan Bathurst, allows users to simply take a picture of something they want to sell, then barter a price with other users to sell it or just get rid of it. The app shows you photos of items within 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 miles, as well as items listed that are beyond 50 miles away. Only thumbnails of the item appear along with a few comments, which can include what the item is, reducing the time it takes to list an item and eradicating potentially false descriptions. (Craigslist, anyone?) And because the app is designed to locate only local items, you won’t have to worry about negotiating shipping costs or being asked to do a scammy wire transfer. Bathurst, who started Rumgr while working at Zappos, explained the method of buying and selling is simple.
“Rumgr is all about making it as easy as possible to buy and sell stuff. You literally take a photo, and it’s on Rumgr and ready to sell. You don’t have to fill out lengthy descriptions, tags, or prices. Sellers instantly get push notifications when someone has expressed interest in an item.”
Bathurst also explains the design of the app with its focus on thumbnails. “Rumgr isn’t really about finding specific items you need; it’s more about finding interesting items around you,” Bathurst says. When you see an item you like, users make a bid for it in the comments, and then both users can go into private chat mode to discuss the technicalities of the transaction.
Rumgr is still in early stages and constantly adding more features, but has been popular amongst individuals and local merchants who just have extra stuff. You can try out Rumgr from the iTunes App Store today, and be sure to let us know what you think about the app in the comments.

Get Paid to Take Pictures for Strangers with Crowdmug
Get Paid to Take Pictures for Strangers with Crowdmug
If you’re an iPhone addict with a slight tendency to take pictures of anything and everything, a new app lets you take pictures and get paid for it. Crowdmug is an app that lets users request photos from locations and get paid for providing the requested feature. The app is useful for those who want to see a vacation destination before they go, whether a bar or restaurant is crowded, or knowing if a space is appropriate for a meeting or group gathering.
With Crowdmug — only available for iOS users for now — users both make and fulfill requests for photos. Though the app has only been live for a few days, there are already several offers on the board, which can be filtered based on those nearby and those everywhere else. If you happen to live in a big city or work for a popular tech company, there may be even more options for you to make a few bucks. Offers tend to be low for now, averaging about $2 per photo. But as these are likely strangers who can’t get to the city — whether for work or play — you can recoup the cost of your daily coffee by snapping these shots and then cashing out via either PayPal or check.
While Crowdmug has a primarily commercial purpose, I wouldn’t be surprised if more users took advantage of the service to ask other users to check out a potential apartment or house before you can relocate to see it for yourself, or to crowdsource pictures of dorms and college campuses to help an accepted student check out their future campus without needing to actually visit the school.
Crowdmug is an innovate and fun way to take pictures and make little extra cash in the process. Download Crowdmug from the iTunes App Store, and stay tuned — an Android version is on its way

Accused Robber Tracked Down by GPS on Stolen iPhone
Accused Robber Tracked Down by GPS on Stolen iPhone
One of the many great things about smartphones is that they can be helpful in catching dumb criminals. Police say they used GPS technology to track down a teenage boy who was busted with a stolen phone he allegedly took from a woman late last night.
At about 11 p.m., the victim was walking home from work on the 1600 block of Post Street when she was shocked by a stun gun. She fell to the ground, and the robber quickly took her belongings, including her iPhone, according to police.
Police arrived at the scene where the woman informed them that she had a GPS tracking device on her phone. Police used their own GPS software and tracked the woman's phone all the way to the hands of the suspect, who had the phone with him, according to SFPD.
The suspect, a juvenile, was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property.
