After reading this, I still don't know what this is. Other than being like facebook, a notebook, twitter, blogs, a private journal, and Evernote, not that I've ever heard of Evernote before. How can something be like a facebook timeline and private at the same time?

Why is it so difficult for people to describe their new service? Alternatively, why am I so bad at understanding?

Because it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Hi, we're sorry the description is confusing. It's similar to Facebook's Timeline in the sense that we list things chronologically, but it's completely private.

I think the easiest way to think of it is a mobile journal that not only lets you input things, but also automatically collects your social activities across the web for you. Does that help?

So when they shut the service down in 18 months and kill all access to our data, will they be quick to point out that "indefinitely" = for as long as they are profitable? Now I'm not saying this is what's going to happen, but you would have to be foolish not to consider this the most likely outcome.
