If you have any experiences in your life, this place is for you!
Evoke is a collaborative reminiscing app which helps us to indelibly capture, share and enjoy our personal experiences, allowing us to construct our personal story, and explore how we are connected with the world and the people around us.
Evoke helps us better know ourselves and others, by leveraging what makes us who we are:
"Our experiences collectively make up our autobiography. In a very real and meaningful sense, we are the sum total of our experiences."Thomas Gilovich, Amit Kumar & Lily Jampol
Evoke lets you connect, share and build stories with others, or if you choose, to simply enjoy these stories for yourself. It could be used as a personal blogging site, or on-line diary. Some might use it as a shared photo album, or guest book for specific events. It’s a lot of things, and it's as unique as you are.
As you invest time in preserving your own experiences in Evoke, you are building a personal asset, an indelible record of you; your life’s story. Your story can be used to discover and create a lot of great things; it is a chronicle of the highlights of you life.
Sure if you like them, but this is not some meta-physical, spiritual guidance tool! It’s an app which enables us to do what we naturally do when we get together with friends (new and old): we tell stories, enjoying our past and present exploits, and we dream about the future. Whether reminising about past legendary exploits, or capturing a current event, Evoke lets us shape the story together, with those who were there; through collaboration the narrative is woven, capturing the who, what, when and wheres, while sharing individual stories, photos, videos, and more.
Actually is pretty unique in a lot of ways, but one key difference from social networking tools is that sharing is between a group of participants of a given experience and only that experience. Although you are able to share publically if you wish, the social aspect of Evoke provides a focus on the experience as an individual self-contained event. That means, it’s okay to connect with that friend of a friend, or acquaintance you just met in passing; being their Friend
is constrained to that single experience: you don’t have to share your life in order to acknowledge that you shared a particular event. It’s about reminiscing and connecting with the people who were there with you, regardless of the strength of your tie to them.
I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do!
