WereYouThere.com - Social Memories and Nostalgia

WereYouThere is a new social network which brings together people who’ve shared the experience of attending a major social event or took part in a significant occurrence or were simply alive during a particular moment. The basic premise is that you’re not alone.

It’s about shared social memories. While it may sound slightly vague and obvious, it does have a significant effect. It makes people nostalgic and nostalgic people like to reminisce which makes for great social networking. Carrying on that idea, WereYouThere gives its users personal spaces to hark back to the days when there were no telephones, or to when they got their first car, had their first ice cream soda date, heard the Beatles for the first time, etc—common social memes basically. In order to liven up those memories, users can add photos, videos, and audio. Users can add posts to their favorites, send them to friends, or add them to their alerts. Anyone can join—grandfathers, uncles, teenagers—the site is perfect for getting lost in memories.
