The concept of lifeblob is really simple: Every moment of your life can be looked upon as a piece of your life, shared with people, places and things around you at that point in time. And we allow people to capture those moments and view them from different perspectives. If you look at the big picture, lifeblob is like a huge mesh of timelines that are interconnected through the posts that are made on them and we allow you to either walk on one timeline to view its progression in time, or use a post as a bridge to jump from one timeline to another thereby meeting interesting people and discovering interesting content.

This concept has some very interesting implications:

a) For starters, imagine all your friends and family posting stuff on their timelines – the stuff that is relevant to you automatically pops up on your timeline and also becomes a part of it.
b) As you add to your personal diary, you automatically contribute to several others thereby collaboratively building interesting stories. This is great for parents who want to capture their child growing up or for conferences that want to capture their progression over time.
c) You get to view your life from various perspectives and in various contexts – personally, I love to see the portions of my life that I have spent with my friends in Austin vs in India.
d) You get to discover what else is going on in a particular context – I visit my previous company Trilogy’s timeline to see updates about Trilogy for example.
e) It becomes a great tool for sharing stories in general about any theme or topic. You can also embed your timeline and showcase your story.

As for the issue of clutter that you mention, we have solutions to deal with it and you will see them in action real soon. Your comments inspire us to make lifeblob better – stay tuned for more !!
