Every Friday I share one of my favourite finds of the week — a web-site, tool or app that has impressed me.
My Friday Favourite this week is Tile – A Bluetooth tracker to help you find anything.
What is it?
Tile is a small Bluetooth-enabled tracker that helps you find everyday items in seconds.
How can it help me?
Attach a Tile to anything — your phone, your keys, your laptop computer, even your pet Cat — and you can then use the Tile app to see the Tiles last known location, and make the Tile ring when you are close enough to it.

How much does it cost?
A Tile unit costs around £20 and has a battery life of around a year, after which point you can replace your tile with a fresh unit at 50% cost. You can own and use multiple tiles from a single account.
How can I get it?
You can buy Tile online and then download the free Tile app for Android or iOS.
You can also find Tile on Facebook, the Tile App on Twitter.

Oh this sounds definitely like something I need. I've lost my keys in the apartment so many times... Of course they are gone everytime I am in the hurry. This Tile could literally save my life. Second one I'd put in my wallet! I always have problem with locating that one. Ann
