The Experience Project

The Experience Project is a unique website that allows its users to read about the experiences of others and share their own amongst 24 different categories. The Experience Project is one of the newest social networking websites which focuses primarily on having its users connect with other users based on their experiences. Many social networking sites focus on sharing your personal information such as gender, age, and relationship status. However, the Experience Project strides for people to connect with one another by sharing experiences in an effort to gain a deeper understanding about life. The site is set up in an open forum and people are not required to share any of their personal information. This allows people to connect with others without feeling timid or afraid to share their knowledge with others.

When you navigate through the various categories, I was intrigued to notice how open and honest some experiences were. Currently, the site has over 12 million experiences and is rapidly expanding. Some experiences are very deep and personal while others simply state personal preferences and range in subject from, “I am in love” to “Holiday’s what a Joke!” The various categories allow people of all different ages, ethnicities, and races to congregate on one site and discuss their similarities and differences with one another. Since this site is accessible through both computers and mobile devices, it is even easier for people to connect with one another.

The website does not restrict people based upon certain restrictions nor does it require payment of any sort. The structure of the website allows for complete open access which allows for ideas and experiences to be freely shared. Also, since the website does not require it’s users to set up a profile, the users can stay as open or anonymous as they choose. Individuals have the option to freely discuss their experiences without feeling any shame or embarrassment. The Experience Project prides itself on being a free social networking site which strides to not limit or restrict its users. This website is an interactive, user friendly website that contains other features such as; personal stories, confessions, blogs, groups, photos, and videos. In addition, users could join certain communities based on their experiences and interests where they can interact with people who are similar to themselves.

Since The Experience Project is a relatively new site, it is not as popular as other social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. Even though the popularity level may not be as high as other websites, this networking site is an excellent source for knowledge. Often time’s people experience certain events or issues that they find troubling or hard to deal with and feel that there is no place to turn to for answers. A site such as this one acts as the perfect source for answers to those questions. The Experience Project allows its users to be as open or anonymous as they choose, and can ask any question they desire by offering 24 different categories. This site is vast in its capabilities and has relatively limited restrictions which allow people to ask open and honest questions and answers.

Overall, The Experience Project is a unique website that serves as a source of answers for a plethora of individuals. As the site continues to grow in experiences, more people will discover the benefits that this site has to offer.

Keep and Share

Keep and Share is a collaboration tool used to keep all of your information in one place. It is an application that provides online calendars, word processing, file storage, photo sharing and to do lists. It is also very easy to work with people on Keep and Share. You can easily collaborate with other people on shared projects and more. Your information is private and you can control who see’s it. This is how the website got it’s name – you can keep or share the information. What I found interesting is that your friends do not need a Keep and Share account to view your files, calendars, etc. All you have to do is input their email address and email them the secure link and password to your information and they can access it.

When you go to the Keep and Share website, before you even create an account, there is a trial calendar/notepad right on the main screen. It seemed fun and easy to type and create events, etc., but I was still unsure if this website was user-friendly since I do not have an account myself. After reading dozens of reviews, the majority of people said that this site is completely user-friendly and great for people who need an easy way to work in teams or share images/documents. Everything on the Keep and Share website is organized under tabs so you can very easily view your photos, documents, to-do’s, addresses, calendars, and who has visited your page.

The one downside I found to Keep and Share is that there are no mobile apps for it. In today’s world, most people are using Smartphone’s and iPhones, that allow for application downloads. Although Keep and Share has a webpage that can be accessed from a mobile phone with Internet, it is not as efficient as having an app for it.

Aside from the one downside, this site proves to be a very useful tool to communicate and collaborate with others efficiently and effectively online. Hopefully as technology becomes more important in todays world, Keep and Share will create an easy mobile app for people to use. I would definitely recommend this site for anyone who needs an easy way to work with others, share files, and organize their days/weeks.
