The story of MyMinutes.org and Daniele Alberti

As I speak in this my article, during the recent and first for me Bloggers' Party I met lots of unusual and very interesting people, and we spoke about their exciting projects. All famous Bloggers and/or Evangelists for their projects, the friends or just guests of Luca Conti invited by Luca to Pandecena 2.0 in Milan.

The week followed Pandecena 2.0, I was checking the references, projects, contacting those people or probably they were contacting me as we agreed, and we were presenting each other's projects to some other people that could be of help in development and promotion of the initiatives. I want to speak now about Daniele Alberti, Creator and Owner of MYMINUTES.ORG

Take a look at the professional profile of Daniele- it's all about creativity, new ideas, leadership, success stories! He has successfully launched ALTREMENTI still followed by him, and the other his well known project is Bakeca. I saw some materials brought by Daniele to Pandecena 2.0, and it was all of the highest quality, out of doubts!

And now there is also MyMinutes.org, the project that may seem 'crazy' at the first look ;) But in fact it's a very cool and innovative idea. It's just needed to push it and I am sure the clients of Daniele will be the happiest people in the world,- able to FREEZE THEIR TIME.

Isn't it exciting? Of course we're all different by the nature, some are dreamers, romantics, and the others are more scientific- technical. I think Daniele is reaching the first category, although I wish him good luck with the second also :)

Please let me place here some text from the official presentation/ press-release about MyMINUTES.ORG, and I gonna play myself with the web site, I have an account and few free-minutes presented to me by Daniele


WWW.MYMINUTES.ORG - freeze your time

525,600 minutes, which will be displayed into eternity, so as to tell of dreams, memories and events which occur in the 24 time zones in a collective project based on time and space.

 
Myminutes.org is here, the first collective sentimental calender which gathers beautiful moments, a window in which it is possible to associate the minutes of a solar year to the most significant moments of one’s life.

The user who accesses the site has the possibility to buy one or more minutes and have the home page all to himself every year for these selected minutes where they can publish whatever they desire: photos, videos, audio clips, text, poems, stories or links to their own site or blog.

Minutes will be exclusively owned by the first user to buy them, after which nobody else can buy the minutes in question.

The “minute-freezer” or the owner of the minute, can, therefore use their minute in many ways: to give as a special present, to commemorate and share significant episodes of their lives, their birthday, their first kiss, their wedding, their anniversary, freezing forever their emotions through an image or a video clip.


The acquired Minutes will be visible on the home page in every time zone at their corresponding time and will be replayed at the same time every year thereafter. The minutes can be indexed or searched for through a keyword or if the minute becomes popular it will appear directly on the homepage’s top list of most voted or commentated on minutes.


It is possible to buy a minute or give it as a present to loved ones for as long as they are available. (525,600 equal to one solar year) Once all the minutes are sold the site cannot resell them. To buy a minute the owner has to be contacted directly. Contact information can be found only if the owner consented to the option when originally buying the minute.


After buying their time-space” the user will receive via e-mail a “Purchase Document” which is an ownership certificate, a tangible record of your ownership that can be kept or given as a gift. Inside the community it is possible to move around in full freedom, sharing feelings or thoughts with others, except what is considered objectionable or obnoxious material.

The money earned from the sale of the minutes (one minute = 1 Euro ) will be used to create and launch new innovative web projects.

The buyer will be kept informed of every iniative through a newsletter by email ( if requested upon Registration ) and through the onsite blog.


The creator of Myminutes

The idea of the Internet project Myminutes.org- says Daniele Alberti- was born so as create new work methods regarding the web and to realise the ideas of young talent. For many young people in Italy it is difficult, if not impossible to become entrepreneurs and gain credability in an ever complex and competitive market. Myminutes.org wants to be a self-financing entity and become an example for all those who have original, creative and innovative ideas”.
