Yahoo gets into the Electronic Time Capsule ‘field’
We are quite thrilled Yahoo is launching a new ‘time capsule’ project. The time capsule idea is quite close to our service yet very different. This leads us to discuss the Traditional Time Capsule model (what yahoo is doing) and our service.
Direction :
- Traditional time capsules (Yahoo) are not directed at one individual but rather to whoever wants to read/see.
- Our service identifies one recipient
Why? Relevancy of content for the writer and the recipient
Quantity and time:
- Yahoo has 1 capsule delivered/opened on one date (2020)
- Our system can take a multitude of capsules which can all be opened on individual dates.
Why? The writer/contributor has to choice to deem when it is appropriate his message gets delivered. This feature permits a writer/contributor to keep contact for a complete generation…while alive or not to the benefit of the recipient.
Privacy:
- Yahoo will expose all the contents (when written) and (when received)
- Our service is private as every capsule is confidential between the writer/contributor and the recipient
Why? Relevancy… we prefer by far to look at the photo album of our family. It’s the one that is important to the individual.
I have to say we are very impressed with Yahoo and their project. We hope there is a lot of participation. Visually, we love their website and the whole ‘ball’ effect.
