Is there any mileage in a site for memories?

edo · 14-10-2011, 01:23:42 PM

From the feedback I've got so far it seems:

- people don't want to pay to store their personal memories
- what I outlined sounds too similar to the many cloud storage services out there

I'd now agree with both points.

Perhaps I should go back to the core idea I had about a memorial site. What I'm trying to do is nail down a customer pain and provide them with a solution.

My guess is that it's a pain in the bum for some people to have to traipse along to the graveyard every week/month/year to lay down flowers for a relative or close friend. Why not give them that capability online (eg virtual flowers, gifts)? Or do people enjoy going to the graveyard and that physical act is part of paying respect? I have no idea to be honest.

Also a fair percentage of people are cremated these days, so where do they pay their respects?

Plenty of memorial sites out there but 99% are rubbish, with the exception of Legacy.com, which just feels a bit dry to me.

All input appreciated

What about a site where people can leave a video message to their loved ones to look back on when they have passed away, I would love to watch a video of my nans & grandad just having a chat to me and my family.

Not sure how long this timeline url has been live - mentioned in 1st post - but as on topic:

The timeline will go live on Oct 18 apparently. But then the date has been put back several times already.

You can get it early here by following the instructions here. Very easy to set up. Really is very cool.

If you are willing to spend �2.95 a month just to store your memorabilias then better get a hosting. I believe you can find a good webhosting for this price.

In the future maybe. When we can upload and share our actual memories.
