If you like social media (and obviously you do because you’re reading this), you’re going to love BluMail’s “trifecta” of social media sites which, unlike today’s most popular alternatives, lets you connect more deeply and meaningfully with others. 

Accessible on BluMail’s homepage, Share a StoryWhat Do You Think? and Write About Your Life/The Remembering Site are three different, easy and fun formats enabling anyone, anywhere to share his or her life experiences – whether an account of a single incident that changed the way you think or live; answers to thought-provoking questions; or a complete memoir chronicling your life or something in between.

And whether you post something on these sites or not, you can read what others have posted and if a posting moves you, you can simply and securely connect with that person to share thoughts, ask questions or communicate whatever you’d like.

We developed these sites so people could truly benefit from whatanyone – anywhere in the world and from all walks of life -- has learned through both common and extraordinary life experiences. These sites support BluMail’s broader mission of promoting meaningful connections, cultural understanding and networking among people everywhere throughout the world, regardless of geographic and other barriers.

Let’s face it – you just can’t get that value from most of today’s other popular social media sites where you typically only get tidbits of pretty mundane information about things like "I just got upgraded to first class - woot!" or "The brilliance of 'Billy Jean' just dawned on me on the drive into work.  Seriously." or "I just had the best tuna fish sandwich of my life."

We're not saying cancel your Facebook or Twitter accounts.  We enjoy and value those sites as much as anyone – they have an important place in the social media “ecosystem.” We simply encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences at 1) add Share a StoryWhat Do You Think? and The Remembering Site

And please ncourage your relatives, coworkers and friends to do the same.

We can’t wait to read your stories!
