Unique and Creative Uses
The LifeSnapz site is built to be very flexible and versatile. People are employing LifeSnapz in some very creative and inventive ways. Here are a few examples.
Connected Parents
We have heard from a number of parents who are using LifeSnapz to share events and pictures and videos in a private manner of their children with the parents of other kids on a sports team or in a scout pack. One user set up all of her son's cross country team meets as unique events on the LifeSnapz timeline and map. She then invited in all the other team members' parents to contribute photos so that everyone could see all of the various pictures and read a recap of each meet. She also used LifeSnapz as a way to coordinate rides to and from each meet, fundraising activities and the end of the season party.
Memoir
We have a handful of people that have told us they are using our platform to record and publish their memoirs.
Reunion
People are using LifeSnapz as a way to organize and reconnect with people with whom they graduated high school or college. The reunion application is a popular one for a number of reasons. First, everybody wants to see old (or older) photos of their classmates and themselves. Second, LifeSnapz lets multiple people contribute their recollections of specific events, and it enables multiple people to help answer the "Who was that guy?" question that invariably comes up with reunion preparation. We had one woman share with us that she scanned in her high school graduation program from 50 years ago to share with her classmates, as well as some old photos of a powder puff football game.
Driving Across the Country / Extended Trip
As you might imagine, lots of people like to document their big trips and vacations with photos and videos. Many of these users tell us that the added mapping functionality allows them to pinpoint their memories geographically so that they can retrace their steps and solidify their memories.
Reduce Clutter
People have scanned their kids' memorable school work assignments (such as artwork, poems and other memorabilia), as well as photos from their kids' sports teams, and uploaded them to LifeSnapz. If you have kids, you know how much clutter these produce. With LifeSnapz, people can capture the creativity, place it in time and share it with anyone else that would want to see it. Plus, you won't have a guilty conscience when answering your child's question, "Why are you putting all of my drawings away?" Now you can show your child that these are always available online and enjoy a less cluttered home.
Big Project
A number of users are using LifeSnapz to document large household improvement projects (a new house, an addition or some landscaping). Each day is a unique "event" of work and the users can see (and track) and share the changes across the life of a project with anyone that is interested.
Company Historian
A few companies are using LifeSnapz to track notable events in their histories, such as company launch, conferences attended, significant milestones, employee achievements, product enhancements, and company parties.
Collaborative Company Project Communicator
A marketing communications firm is using LifeSnapz with one of its clients to collaboratively document various marketing events. Once the events are documented, various team members who are located around the globe contribute their thoughts and perspectives on the events: what went well, what could have been better, etc. LifeSnapz helps them archive and share their team members' perspectives on past events in order to build improvements into similar future events.
