The LiveOn Timeline vs. the Facebook Timeline

Dec. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Many people wonder how our startup, which promises to keep all of your memories for future generations, compares with Facebook’s new timeline feature. While we’ve opted for a timeline layout for ease of use and reference, we couldn’t be more different. Here’s how:

- We’re connecting the past, present and future. Do you have access to your great, great grandfather’s memories and advice on Facebook? That’s what we’re working toward – intergenerational connection. Right now, you can capture your ancestor’s stories on their own timelines on LiveOn. And eventually, your great, great grandchildren will know your story, because we’ll keep it around for all future generations of your family to enjoy. They’ll hear your voice, see your videos and get advice from you, even after you’re gone.

- We’re the final destination for your most important content. When you pass on, your Facebook page is memorialized, but in a generation, it’s gone. We never get rid of your content – ever.

- You can only start a timeline for your children on LiveOn. Think of it as a digital baby book that they take over once they’re old enough to join our site!

- We’re all about privacy. Facebook’s timeline is designed to get more information from you to sell to advertisers. We don’t sell your data and never will. Your facebook information is also visible to all of your friends, and even some of their friends. We know you don’t want everyone you’ve ever known seeing photos of you in the tub as a tot. That’s why we recommend keeping your tribe limited to family and close friends, then sharing more public LiveOn memories on social media.

- The rest of our features are completely different; for instance, time capsules. If you’ve ever wanted to shoot a time capsule far into the future, LiveOn is your site. Say you want to give your best friend some great video you took at her wedding, but you don’t want her to have it until her 30th wedding anniversary. LiveOn will deliver it even if you forget or aren’t around to send it yourself.

LiveOn is about connecting families and close friends, sharing meaningful memories and connecting the past, present and future. For more information, visit www.liveon.com or find us on Facebook and Twitter.
