The idea contd.

August 7, 2008

A key feature of this “site/idea” will be the ability to share different memories among different categories of “friends”.

This particular feature was recently identified as a key ingredient of the next generation of Web 2.0 applications. Current applications such as Facebook and MySpace don’t differentiate between “degrees of friendship” – information is made available to everyone equally.

With memories, however, one wouldn’t want to share all of them with everyone…

It started with an idea – the need for a place to record ones random memories; memories from childhood through to yesterday, perhaps.

These memories could then be shared among family, friends (and wider).  Any gaps could be filled in by other readers.  Any similar memories can be recalled, shared and clarified further.

Media can be added to enhance the description… Photos. Music. Smells. Well, the latter might be quite tricky to upload and access online…
