URmissed.Com, a Social Networking Solution to Search for Missing People, Revamps Its Platform

Oct. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Each day, tens of thousands of people, all over the world, go missing. Despite the number of missing person reports filed on a daily basis, the vast majority do not receive media attention. Reasons include getting lost, becoming victimised or disappearing voluntarily. If a loved one goes missing, the situation could be traumatic for the family. Though the authorities solve the majority of missing person cases quickly, some remain a mystery. In worst case scenarios, the bodies are found weeks to years later.

“In this day and age where almost anything can go viral, it is time for a website to finally be launched that can get important information out to the public right away,” says Kane Tracey, the founder of URmissed.com, about the vision behind the platform.

URmissed.com Features

Not so long ago, in the absence of technology, knowledge of tracking was critical for everyday survival—not only for securing food and clothing, but also for finding shelter from animals, weather and terrain. Though, the capabilities are exclusive to head-hunters and native trackers, today, search and rescue teams and law enforcement agencies use similar skills. With the World Wide Web technology and widespread use of social networking, the rudimentary search methods could be deployed effectively.

URmissed.com intends to bring back an art that has been lost from society—to apply the art for the good of the society—and preserve the much-coveted knowledge that requires years of study, experience and dedication. URmissed.com community members could track missing people whether they are lost children, criminals on the run, missing adults or victims. Using the URmissed.com knowledge-base, with a comprehensive user-guide for tracking and finding humans, members could find useful information for outdoor and survival training, or learn tracking skills by reading content and interacting with community members.

Understanding their environment helps find clues about human behaviour. Clues lead to more clues, providing valuable information about the missing. Tracking is like solving a puzzle, with little pieces here and there that complete the big picture. The approach requires seeing things differently by paying attention to things not noticed, and filtering irrelevant information.

Social media is like an urban jungle, where cobwebs, footprints and twigs could be tracked by looking through the binoculars of social networking. By seeing the greens and browns of the social media environment, users could focus on seeing things more precisely by uncovering signs or pieces of the puzzle—sites visited by the missing person or sightings around the world.

URmissed.com, powered by a secure database and robust content management system, is designed for accessibility, with generous bandwidth for round-the-clock, high-traffic access, and integrated to social networking sites including Twitter and Facebook.
