Background
After feeling disappointed with the online classified sites that were currently on the web in 2008 , Anthony and Andrew two 19 year old college students decided to give people a way to “Phind what they’re looking for” , just a simple system that would help people find things locally or worldwide, Anthony and Andrew were set on what they wanted to do with the idea , and started to work on the first mock-up design, with little money in there pockets they both put together what little money they had to get a programmer that would help them get the site up and running after going through several design changes , the two brothers finally came across a new modern web 2.0 look for the launching of phinditt. Phinditt received its first investment in 2008. Anthony and Andrew decided that no matter how big the site became they would never charge users or guest to pay to use the site. There is no required registration for phinditt, its very user friendly. Both subscribers and the number of postings grew rapidly in the middle of 2009, Anthony knew he would have to put school on the backburner. Phinditt allows users to flag a posting that appears to violate the site's policies. Andrew thought of adding a suggestion box to the homepage of phindit to see what users really wanted to see on the site, Phinditt got great feedback from users and started to get thousands of suggestions a day. Phinditt offers users HTML embedded sharing codes to help users promote their ads on social websites. Anthony says “Phinditt works because we allow the people to find whats being offered in their community or the community around them”
