Looking for “share your story”-esque websites

• Not many good online services for sharing stories
• No community-based story sharing
• Some more general user content sharing:
  • CNN iReport
  • Reddit
  • #UWRightNow
  • The Moth
  • TripAdvisor
  • Quantified Self
  • Wikipedia, Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
• How do these relate individual stories to general themes (close v. wide view)?

CNN iReport

• User submitted news stories
• Freely chosen topics, or by suggestion
• Display by news feed
• Sorted (assumingly) by date or popularity or both
• Personally able to choose groups for subscription

Quantified Self

• No user submission
• Content posted by admins, users comment
• Posts sorted by dates, tags
• Info about In Real Life activities

User Rating System- TripAdvisor, Amazon, etc.

• Already existing database of products, hotels, flights
• User submitted ratings
• Aggregated data
• Sort by most helpful (user-rated ratings)
