For example, there would be a news feed that would contain the status posts from your family tree members. You would be able to comment on your family tree's posts. You could also chat with family members who were online.
Additionally, you would be able to upload digital and analog/physical content and share it with your family. Today, a majority of the content we share (photos, videos) are from digital sources (such as our phones or digital cameras). But with this website, you would be able to upload your physical video tapes/cassettes and physical photo albums. That is what I mean by analog/physical content.
All you would have to do is to convert your video tapes onto DVD. You can either do this at a retailer store (i.e. Costco, Walmart) or at your local drug store (i.e. CVS, Walgreens). Or, if you have a VHS-DVD combo player, you can convert your home videos onto DVD. We will then provide the software for you to extract the video files from your DVD onto your PC, and upload it to your account. For photos, you could get your local drug/retailer store to put them on DVDs for you and you could pull the photos from the DVD and upload them. Or, you could do it cheaper by scanning it at home.
Once your digital/analog photos and videos are on your profile, your family members can view them, comment them, and download them. You could do the same thing to your family members as well.
Is this a good idea? Is this something you could see yourself using? Please let me know your honest thoughts, I want to build this immediately!
