Thanks mate for the feedback. Liked your airdrop party thingy. will think about it. Do you think having multiple themed timelines tailored to specific use cases and some premium features will get people to use it ? oh yes and making it easy by getting some integrations on with fb/twitter/linkedin/ google photos and so on. |

If I was married to your idea thing here... I would make it so anyone could upload pics or text notes, vieos, etc to a url - and the cms would auto detect via time uploaded, or time photo was taken and places - (exif data if avail) - and have one click sort options.. one click - show all pics uploaded by time uploaded.. show my exif data.. show my each different person's uploads..
in order to get people to really use it.. it needs to be faster and easier to go to your site, grab a semi-secret url, upload and share.. than any other portal.
Why not just use facebook? not all of the people at this party are on facebook, nor do they neccesarily want to "become fbook friends just to share a pic" - plus to use fbook you need to sign in, or register, and share all kinds of data.. meh
so have some people you find at a local shopping center see how fast they can share a pic with people they just met.. is it faster to upload to flickr than your site? Is it faster to share via imgur? Why? How can your thing be faster?
I think, no registration to start a timeline, just upload and get a url that is easy to share via sms text msg, qr code, fbook invite..
only register if you want to save the timeline for more than 24 hours...
the on boarding process of riot.im is the best I've seen in ages.
your differential thing is faster to share, and more privacy in that you don't need to become fbook connected...
offer one click zip-all to download/ backup for a fee.
offer to make the url password protected, and auto send that pw via sms text to friends..
sponsored themes for wedding gold themes could be a semi easy sell to wedding companies..
one tap screenshot your any timeline pics (maybe with glitter flowing animation?) - with "davids bridal gowns" in the frame.. and easy save to drive / dropbox.. export to facebook... share via pinterst.. (individual items / pics etc)
This could work.. I have been thinking of this kind of thing for a long time.. been looking to make something like this where any group of friends could have their own "facebook" which is not facebook for $60 per year.. not each person, just one person in the group could pony up the dough..
if the system auto-backed up stuff - and notified each person in the group that the yearly dues were coming up and one person could pay it to keep storage for another year, or any number of people in that group could split the bill.. this could work.
random thoughts from thinking of making a similar project..
