Itizen lets you tell, share and follow the “life stories” of keepsakes, gifts and interesting things. Put an Itizen TRACKit Tag on the thing that you’re giving as a gift, selling or just passing along to someone. Tell a story about who made it, how it was made, what makes it special to you — anything that the person who gets it should know. As things pass from person to person, their stories grow and they become not only more interesting, but more meaningful and valuable.
