> create a revolution in the way we record our historical past.  It
> will be one of the first ever websites specifically designed to
> allow users to record first hand accounts of their lives through
> text, images and video.
>
> Social networking sites have become common place and eight out of
> ten people who are members of these sites go directly to them
> when turning on their computers. The Times of My Life is a social
> networking site and historical reference library rolled into one.
> It is a place to keep in touch with friends but also to share
> your present and past experiences.

> The Times of my Life also opens a new door for students studying
> history.  In the future the learning process will not just
> involve dull monologues in textbooks; the website allows members
> to read real first hand accounts and experience history from the
