Time Capsule, Saving memories for the future

How very annoying that Apple have called their new wireless hard drive Time Capsule. You spend ages trying to get the SEO right for your site and think to yourself, hey - Time Capsule can’t be that competitive a keyword. Then what happens, Wallop! one of the biggest marketing machines in the world brings out a product that shares your keyword and pushes you out to page 2 on Google.

On the positive side (which you must always look otherwise it all gets too much) maybe some of those looking for a time capsule from Apple will see our site and think to themselves, “hey what a fantastic idea” I will sign up to The100YearWebSite and create a real Time Capsule. Steve Jacobs has too much money anyway.

I have also been thinking. What happens to the data when the time capsule breaks down? I had an external hard drive go wobbly on my once and they wanted £700 to recover the data (the drive cost £120 in the first instance).  Suffice to say I just spent the next 3 months re loading all my cds back into itunes.

Why not give your mum a thoughtful, unusual gift this year. Chocolates, flowers and slippers may fulfill the commitment, but with a little thought you could really make her feel happy and appreciated.

The answer? Buy her a Time Capsule from www.The100YearWebSite.com. Fill the capsule with photographs from her life, video messages from you and your siblings, scan in important documents that will mean something to her. If she has grandchildren get them to draw pcitures for their gran and scan them in. Include some of her favourite music as well.

Once she has her capsule she will be able to add her own information in future years. The Time Capsule will give her a place for all her memories to look back and enjoy in years to come.

Go to www.The100YearWebSite.com to see how much joy a Time Capsule can bring.

Use a Time Capsule from The100YearWebSite to save all your special memories. Use photographs, upload your special songs, videos of yourself (steady now!!!!! - its not that sort of site), scan in tickets from special events you have been to. Even write yourself letters to open in the future.

Build up the time capsule over the years. Imagine the enjoyment this will give you when you look back on it in years to come. Saving your memories and looking back on them can help you remember why you were together when times are tough.

Well, here we are. Through feedback and general emails from our users we decided that it would be a good idea to produce a blog for The100YearWebSite.

If you have come here without visiting the site I will give you a quick overview. The100YearWebSite allows users to create their own online Time Capsule where they can save text, web grabs, music/audio, videos and photos. Our mission is to keep these Time Capsules alive, readable and accessible for years to come and future generations to enjoy.

Time Capsules can be public from day 1, password protected for only friends and family or even virtually buried until a time of your choosing in the future. We have spent a lot of time and money ensuring that we future proof the stored information and look forward to following the build up of peoples memories over the years to come.

This aims to be more than just our ramblings, although personal views on all sorts of things may probably creep in. Our aim in producing this blog is to give related inforation and advice to our users. We will be delivering articles and advice, hints and tips for creating Time Capsules, reporting on what is going on in the world of personal digital archiving and generally scouring the world for anything that we think will be of use to those with an interest in preserving their digital memories.

We sincerely hope that this will become a 2 way street and so as always we welcome any feedback you have about the site or sugestions on articles for this area.

To contact us please use the contact us tab which can be found on the site at www.The100YearWebSite.com. We have set up an email account to deal specifically with the blog.

Enjoy the site and while you are at it why not start your own Time Capsule today.
