1000memories Expands Beyond Digital Memorials, Becomes A Facebook For The Past

shoebox-27d4a3a370b38408375bc84c046e50d1We first wrote about a service called 1000memories back in July 2010. The site was setting out to address a topic that people don't like to talk about, but is universal all the same: when people pass away, their friends and family members like to remember them and celebrate their memories. That can be difficult though these people are often separated by great distances, and it's hard to share antique photos with a lot of people.So 1000memories created a service for digital memorials, where all of these friends and family members can upload their photos and share their favorite memories in a single place.Now, over a year later, 1000memories is changing things up a bit. Don't worry, those digital memorials are still a core feature of the site, and all of the memorials that have been created aren't going anywhere. But the service is adjusting to better cater to the way its users are actually using it. In short, they're making it a place to share all kinds of digital memories, not justthose that concern the recent passing of a loved one.
