PROUST

It is rather interesting to find out little details about our family that really matters. Like the time your dad tries to audition to a rock band when he was younger or that one time your aunt was the best soccer player in her school’s girl’s team. It is amazing how little we knew about them but in fact, it only takes asking the right questions. In the long run, these stories that we share over a cup of tea is what really matters.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to record these stories and perhaps, have an easy access like an online scrapbook? Well, Proust takes center stage to unveil the first online social compilation of family treasures. According to its founder Tom Cortese, while all other social networks invite other friends or followers to get access in your life, Proust provides more intimate and highly personal groups. It is a private venue to encapsulate our personal life stories, aspirations, and thoughts to stir up evocative conversation about who we truly are.

Proust is a named inspired by the 19^th century writer Marcel Proust who is best known for his novel “In Search of Lost Time” and “Remembrance of Things Past.” Basically, what the site provides is a laying out of information in a storybook design instead of the more confusing and less intimate stream of status like that of facebook and twitter. The users in proust get to share their most important happening in their lives such as weddings, holiday vacations, contests joined and much more. They could disclose information by uploading photos or videos which will be tied in with background stories that they could share with friends and families using proust. And to ensure that these significant events will be less likely to be forgotten, personal timeline is provided for each user to show important dates.

In proust, all start with a question to your friends and family that will enable you to find out about their life stories and get to know them even better. Sign up for free and start telling your stories today!
