ThisMoment captures personal scenes with a social sheen
New website thisMoment.com has launched with quite a splash. It's been rave-reviewed by USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. And here's The Christian Science Monitor' report:
thisMomentis designed to let people save and share the moments of their lives by giving them a really simple but extremely powerful tool that enables them to bring together all different kinds of media around these moments,” says Broady, an entrepreneur who previously developed and ran entertainment websites for CNET and Yahoo.
When viewing a thisMoment slideshow, readers scroll down through the text, however brief or long, and scroll across the screen for related images and videos. Makers of thisMoment “moments” can connect directly with their other social media sites like Facebook, Flickr, or YouTube to easily pull all their online material together.”
Each “moment” can be shared in whatever way the user wants: kept private, shared with the other people that were involved in the “moment,” with Facebook friends, with other customized groups of family or friends, or left public to be seen by anyone.
