Dandelife

I'm advising a new startup called Dandelife, which is a Social Biography Network.  TechCrunch has the scoop, but let me tell you why I think they will be successful.

Ever get that feeling why you are blogging and flickring your life away that you have lost something?  That you are telling your life's story, but it is lost in the archives and in the minds of people who are really paying attention?

There is a gap in social software for binding stories in a chronology.  For building biographies of people, places and things.  I think Dandelife serves as different object to tell stories around.  Time.

The horizontal and vertical visualizations are what makes this work: Dandelife is definately beta and Edward and Kelly are working hard on it. But when you can upload your blog and photos to start your story, its pretty powerful. Go play. And let them know how it can get better.
