Most people have analogue and digital assets that represent their lives. From boxes of photos, to old hard drives, as well as the daily accumulation of content in many digital devices. Storyfile provides a place for those assets to be captured, stored, organized, curated and shared. Storyfile is a set of software technologies that work in tandem with cloud storage and social media sites to enable end-users to collect and organize the material they need to tell simple and complex stories.

Consumers cannot easily capture and organize their content. Simple folder structures and complex cataloging for research are not easily enabled through mobile and web cloud storage yet. We will change that. Through Storyfile a wide range of users will manage their online assets differently: – School children will author projects, – Parents will track their baby’s progress, – A researcher will document a field trip, – Families will share their parents wedding album, – A human rights worker will keep a video diary… The Opportunity life curated

Storyfile turns competitors into complimentary entry points, scraping content from personal storage, using APIs to connect to existing data platforms, leveraging distribution through competitors' sites. It uses smart competition management to leverage more users and greater penetration: Picasa: keywords applied to images and videos can be searched and output in slideshows. Storfile can leverage Picasa customers. iPhoto: provides tools for sorting photos and creating albums. We will be able to scrape iphoto and provide better curation tools for iphoto content.
