There is a brand new website called LiveOn, where you can create memories and time capsules and share them with your “tribe.” Your tribe consists of people that you choose to let view your timeline. LiveOn is so unique because they promise to keep your memories forever. They have an intricate backup system of servers that will act as your personal vault, ensuring your stories are available for all future generations to enjoy. This idea of permanence is what stood out the most to me about LiveOn. Technology is changing so quickly I was quite surprised to hear this this company is dedicated to making sure these memories you create are available forever.
LiveOn is like a personal journal or scrapbook taken to the next level. Your LiveOn timeline is where all your memories are stored. A memory can consist of pictures, video, audio, a music soundtrack, text slides, or any combination of those things. You enter everything you want about your memory and LiveOn compiles everything into a video. One of my favorite features is that you can link your LiveOn account to Facebook and use photos from your Facebook albums in your memories. I upload a lot of pictures to Facebook and I really enjoyed this feature. You can of course upload pictures from your computer as well. After you create a memory you can also share on your Facebook page as well.
I decided to create a memory of the hot air balloon festival we attended last month. I pulled up my Facebook album, picked the pictures I wanted to use, picked a soundtrack and I was good to go.
This is the memory creation screen. The facebook album is on the right, the pics I chose on the left. |
Add a text or audio caption for each picture if you like. |
One of the other features I really thought was neat about LiveOn is the Time Capsule. You can have multiple pictures, LiveOn created videos, and webcam videos. You can pick when you want the Time Capsule delivered to someone. I keep thinking about what a neat birthday present this would make for a parent or grandparent. You could set up a time capsule and deliver it on your child’s graduation day or wedding.
I feel like I have failed miserably at keeping a journal throughout my life, but I see LiveOn as a real chance to create my life story in a meaningful and lasting way. I also look forward to creating some nice multi-media time capsules as presents and keepsakes for my loved ones.
LiveOn has video tutorials and cheat sheets about each section of the website. I highly recommend that you watch the videos or at least read the cheat sheets. LiveOn is easy to navigate but since I have never seen another site like this, I found the additional help very useful.
The final verdict? I thought LiveOn was a unique and useful concept. Before I started using it I was expecting just another media sharing platform. I was wrong. It is new and unique and I plan to continue using LiveOn.
