This past summer we had a family reunion and the request was shared to come up with a timeline of our family and family tree information that people could visit and review online.
The Dandelife website (currently in beta) may allow me to do just that.
Dandelife is a social biography network. What’s that? Well you all know what a social network is. Dandelife is a social network built around the telling of your life’s stories. You can use Dandelife to create your own personal biography and then share that with the rest of the world. Imagine all your own notes on all the people you’ve met, the places you’ve been, the events you’ve gone to and the stories you could tell about them all. That’s your Dandelife. To get you started you may want to see the co-founder Kelly Abbott’s Dandelife since he’s got a good start: https://www.dandelife.com/kga245
If that weren’t enough, Dandelife works with Flickr and Youtube. So if you have your photos online at Flickr, and you regularly upload videos to Youtube, then you can keep doing that. Then come to Dandelife to combine those images and movies with stories about the people, places, things and events in them.
The only thing I’m not sure about for use with our family timeline is I’d really prefer it to be able to be locked-down and marked as private. I believe the majority of the members of my family would prefer to be able to login to the site to see all the details and information.
If you know of a website/application that will let me do that, let me know in the comments.
