A section of the website where companies would post product proposals, and if a certain number of tentative orders were received from users, they would produce and sell items in limited quantities.
===Please! Think about it!===
たのむ！考えてくれ！ tanomu! kangaetekure!
This section of the website was where companies would solicit new product ideas from users.

たのむ！作ってくれ！ tanomu! tsukuttekure!

たのモール tanomōru
Tanomall is a portmanteau of the word "mall" and "Tanomi.com". This section of the website was where select products that were available at the Tanomi.com main store were sold in regular quantities, not in limited quantities like they were on the main store.

In 2002, "2.0" versions of the T-Shirts pictured below were sold, as well as a Papi shirt.

The next time anything really happened for Tanomi.com was in July of 2015, when the service was revived as an iOS app. In February of 2017, Tanomi.com was re-established as Tanomi.com Co. Ltd., and on August 18th, 2017, the main website, tanomi.com, was re-launched. 
By April of 2023, it was no longer possible to log in. In July of 2023, the website was changed to have text that read "ご意見をいただき、休止いたしました。正式な閉鎖まで少々お待ちください"https://web.archive.org/web/20230706163246/http://www.tanomi.com/ which translates to "Due to your feedback, we have suspended the service. Please wait a little longer for the official closure."
