On this day, 7 years ago, I released Boston Cub Alert.

A site that used Twitter to aggregate all the unwanted household items discarded during the September 1st move-in, in Boston. 

In 2019, I expanded the service to Austin, Boulder, Chicago, Portland, and Washington DC. 

By the end, the site was pulling in data from Craigslist and FB Marketplace, and thousands of items were being shared daily. 

In 2021, I shut it down for good. 

Anyway, if you're moving to /boston this weekend, GOOD LUCK!

A little Boston artifact.

Anyone moving this weekend?
