SpiinPiin creates photo/video albums, captioned and commented that tell stories, that can be shared privately with friends or invitees, or publicly. Your albums are always available at finger tip for access to your moments, your stories, and under your control. SpiinPiin creates your living archive. SpiinPiin organizes your photos and videos and those of your family, friends, and others with captions in date/time order and location in albums, to tell a story of what happened when and where – the story of your life, lives of your family and friends, current events, and subjects that are important to you. You can create and view four types of albums - Personal, Private, Invited and Public. Only you post to your Personal Album and Private Albums, and can share these albums with your Piinpals (friends) and others you invite. Create or participate in an Invited Album for a group where invitees post photos and videos, and comment to tell the story for a specific occasion: reunions, birthdays, weddings, family vacations, tours, parties, etc. Public Albums are about subjects of interest and newsworthy events. They tell the story of what happened at an event in date/time order and where. Users who were there and took photos or videos can post them to the Public Album. All users can comment or the public album and posts. All of your moments are organized exactly on your terms under your complete control over who sees what and where. You fully separate what you share privately and publicly. Your data is safe, secure, and under your control and is not sold or shared with other entities. Your activity is not tracked and not used to target you with ads - no behavior analysis.
