Lifeblob covered in Startup Dunia
Surprise surprise ! This morning, we woke up to find ourselves covered at Startup Dunia. While the post provides a good summary of Lifeblob, I think it is time to dispel a few myths about Lifeblob and tell everyone what we are really upto.
Lifeblob Is:
- A huge mesh of timelines inter-connected though various posts on them.
- A place where you can record your personal diary and connect events in your life with other people, places and things.
- A cool new way to write your blog and showcase it using an interactive timeline.
- A way for people to keep their friends and family posted about things going on in their life and collaboratively build timelines.
- Especially useful for parents – they can post photos and videos ( coming soon ) of their kids on their timelines and the service automatically builds a timeline for the kids.
- Alumni groups can add posts about the alumni interactions on their timelines and the service automatically builds a timeline of the alumni group.
- A way for you to view interesting slices of your life. As a personal example:
- I view My Timeline to see my entire life, instances where I interacted with friends and family and all the thoughts that I have blogged about.
- I view Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore timelines to view slices of my life that I have spent in these three cities with my friends and family.
- I view Trilogy and Lifeblob timelines to view slices of my life that I have spent in these organizations.
- I view OCC and Barcamp timelines to view slices of my life that I have spent in these unconferences and to keep a tab on activity happening in these groups.
- A way for you to discover other people with similar interests ( using tag timelines ).
- A way for you to find out what is going on in your city or connect with people around you ( using place timelines ).
Lifeblob Is Not:
- Yet another aggregation service. We only support aggregation to get our users started quickly.
- A place where you are only supposed to capture real-life events. You can use it to express your thoughts just as well or a mix of both.
- A direct competitor to LifeInLines, Plurk or Dipity. Our focus is not just to provide a beautiful timeline view, but to provide value to our users by exploiting the relationships that exist between these timelines ( or the mesh of timelines ).
