The Anti-Facebook
It is an understatement to say that Facebook is an exploding phenomenon. It is a great platform to share your pics and other tidbits with your circle of friends or the world in general.
But, there are large parts of your life you DO NOT want to share with the world. It is for yours to manage, preserve for when you want to look back at life and cherish. You want to be able to create and store information in a way that is easy available but is safe so you can always get to it and secure so no prying eyes can look into it.
Towards this end, a few friends of mine and I created a website called, bereadyforlife.com. The idea was to enable a place on the web, or in the cloud as it is called nowadays, where we can keep our digital assets in a secure fashion. This could include
- Important documents such as copies of house deeds, tax returns, warranty information etc.
- Your personal thoughts in the form of loose documents or as a journal or diary
- Checklists such as important numbers, emergency preparedness lists etc.
- List of assets and their value so you can easily create insurance claims
- And we added interesting information management apps such as shopping list manager
We then created security mechanisms such as high strength 256-bit encryption for your documents, journal, checklists etc. so that only you can get access to them. This is multi-level security. The site is first protected by your password. Then each area such as document vaults and diary is protected by separate keys. No one knows the keys except you. It is not stored anywhere on the site. So you can be assured that no one can compromise your data.
In fact, we keep our own data now on this site.
Check it out. I will welcome your comments on the beta version of the site at bereadyforlife.com. And spread the word!
