Lifeblob's World

Lifeblob is all about building connections with your friends and family through photos and videos.

So far, at lifeblob, we have tried to string these photos together along one of these connections and provided you a way to visually navigate through these using our timelines. Now take it to the next level by enabling you to explore and discover through these connections.

The idea is really simple – when you give us one photo, we will show you 20+ photos that are connected to your photo. The more information you provide around your photo, the better connections we will be able to build for you.

So whats the benefit?

Imagine uploading a photo of your college reunion, and instantly discovering photos that other people have added about your college next to it.

Or imagine adding a photo of the Pink Floyd concert you attended and finding photos of past Pink Floyd concerts or other concerts that happened in that location.

Or imagine going out to a trip with friends and seeing their photos next to the photos you clicked. The possibilities are endless.

How does this work?

All you need to do is upload your photo and add some information that describes it – thats it and we will do the rest.

Lets take this example of a recent conference I attended where Guy Kawasaki hosted a tweetup. I came back from the event, uploaded this photo to my lifeblob added a title, some tags and face tagged Guy Kawasaki – same stuff that you would do when you normally upload your photo.

And instantly, the other photos that are connected to this photo start showing up on the right.  There are three sections in this panel that show photos through people, through places and tags – we’ll go through each of these in a bit.

a) Photos connected through people

This section shows photos that are connected through people who are either in your photo or people who are participants in your post or yourself ( in that order ). If you face tag people in the photos you add, you are more likely to see photos that are very strongly connected with yours.

b) Photos connected through place

This section shows photos that are connected through the place where the photo was taken. We always try to infer the place name from the information you add, but it is always better to explicitly specify a location.

c) Photos connected through tags

This section shows photos that are either connected through one of the tags you added or through the caption that describes the photo or through the title of your post. Add as many tags as possible to describe your photos and you will see photos that are very strongly connected to yours.

Its time to get all your photos on lifeblob and see how they are connected to others!
