Social networking sites are ten-a-penny these days, and for the most-part there is often little to distinguish between many of them beyond user-base. However, a new site has emerged over the the last week or so which I’m enjoying so much I thought I’d blog about it.
It’s called thisMoment and when I first describe it you’re going to wonder what this fuss might be about. Well, it’s a site for posting about moments in your life. Doesn’t sound too different from a great many of the alternatives, but it’s the way that thisMoment achieves this that sets it apart.
Rather than being a site for posting what you’re eating for breakfast, it’s for marking the poignant moments in your life. The times you look back on with fondness or horror. It’s about how you felt and what you may have learned from it. And then it’s about sharing this moment with others through text, photos or videos. These are all displayed in a gorgeous scrolling window, with videos playing in place on the page. Pictures can be found by searching your Flickr or Facebook accounts, though these are only two of the many linked sites you can upload from. Add a location to top off your moment, and allow others to make comments on what you’ve written. You can also add other people to your moments and allow them to make their mark.
The expected options are also there, including the ability to keep your moment private or broadcast it over Twitter and Facebook.
I’m not sure I can do the site justice in this post, but take a look yourself and see what you think. There are some helpful videos on the site to help you get started. Personally, I’m hooked!
