#32After 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?
>> 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.
Bingo. That's one sentence that sums up the vast majority of tech startups nowadays.

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?
Then why not just say you list things chronologically? Why confuse your potential customers by making them work backward from Facebook's Timeline feature to simply listing things chronologically? If you have to attach to Facebook's success in order to sell your product, you probably have a long way to go. Try defining it in your own words.

#34So 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.
Well hopefully with your support we wouldn't have to shut down ;)
Aside from the fact that your answer wasn't an answer, you are essentially making false claims on your Web site using words like "never" and "anything." Hopefully you don't get sued by a paying customer who holds you to account for those claims.

#35But can you export your data?

#36Yet another startup trying to use the success, brand or popularity of other companies or products to attract customers. Everyday.me, how about defining yourselves instead of "We're the Facebook of" or "an Evernote for?" Be confident about your product--that it can stand on its own and has merit above and beyond what competitors can offer.

#37Why would I voluntarily hand over all this data to a third party if the only person who SHOULD ever consume the data is me?

#38As an introvert who is in the process of deleting their facebook account for privacy reasons, I see real value in this. I'd like to keep a private journal more in line path/instagram/twitter - just for me. That being said I have a couple pieces of advice: Make sure I can export ALL of the data, anytime. Make sure you securely backup all of my data. CHARGE ME for this service, so I know you won't sell my data. Only wa…
The only way you will know they won't sell your data is if those terms are clearly stated in a contract between you and the vendor. Otherwise, you won't have any way to know they won't sell your data in the future.
Imagine if you are the owner of Everyday.me and Facebook comes calling, flashing a huge check. They want your data and are willing to pay big bucks for it. If there's nothing in customers' contracts stating you can't sell their data... cha-ching!

It's essentially a posterity engine

#40Nice App. I worked on this Idea for quite long time and discussed with many web developers as I am not into web development.Many suggested me to learn and develop but I couldn't. That is a different story.
My perspective was different and it was not just simple Private Journal of your personal life.It meant to improve your way of life. I thought of many features which can do so. For example: Capture moment and also mark some as milestones along with its type as good/bad or traits like new learning's/adventurous etc etc. Thus at any point of time if you look back, how your time period(last year lets say) had been. you will know if it was insipid or adventurous or had any new learnings etc and where you need to improve. Pls feel free to discuss with me if you need more feature ideas.
