iMemories: a True Use for Social Media

At tonight’s Social Media Club meeting we saw a really great preview of a new use of social media, the iMemories online site. iMemories is founded by one of the former founders of Knowledgenet. Its mssion is to help people who have old film and videos digitize and edit them online, and then share them with family members.

The local version of the company has been doing business for a year, and has processed 75,000 “assets” (rolls of film and tape) during that year, mostly from people either in Arizona or visiting. The company has established a “manufacturing” process for digitizing the old films and videos affordably.

We had a wonderful discussion of how social media is used to enhance people’s memories and emotions, and how it will be used at iMemories by completely non-technical people who wish to do nothing but watch their old home movies with their families.
