A friend of mine, Chris Anderson, is taking the leap of faith and has started an Internet company called Capzles.com. The idea is you tell a story using linear, time-based, layouts of media including photos, video, audio, blog entries, etc. This could be your life, your vacations, a product history, biography, marketing promotion, whatever. I love this idea. In fact, I love it so much I had considered the same idea myself before I ever knew Chris was working on this project and we were literally 100 yards away from eachother in an office suite. The initial force inside me was to capture a variety of details about my kids' lives which you can't capture in a photo album, photos site, blog, or any other form of album-like archiving I've seen.
Capzles explains their site with the following:
Capzles uniquely blends social networking and storytelling, allowing
users to express themselves through combined videos, photos/images,
blogs and music/audio along horizontal timelines (capzles) to share
stories. From vacations to new product launches, Capzles lets anyone
tell their stories in a fast, easy-to-use, high-style Flash interface
that more accurately reflects personality and style. Capzles is where
its audience is - everywhere on the Web - with its destination site,
widget for personal Web space, or licensed software.
Today he presented his creation at Demo 08. If you're not familiar with Demo and like new tech and startups, check it out.
