Welcome to the LifeTally Tour!
LifeTally is a social utility and collaborative information tool designed to help you achieve your life list of experiences.
LifeTally provides several main services to help you accomplish your goals:
An open, collaborative information tool that allows the community to create and edit articles about specific Experiences, detailing everything you need to know to achieve your experience. (Think Wikipedia for experiences)
To help you choose the experience that's right for you, every experience can be reviewed and rated. (Think Amazon reviews)
Social utilities like groups and experience-specific events help you to meet people with similar interests and find and organize events to get out there and accomplish your experiences! (Think Meetup)
Share your experiences with others! Journals (blogs) allow users to write about their own experiences. Channels allow users that want to broadcast their journals, photos, videos, and reviews to an audience to do just that. (Think Blogger and Youtube)
