Lifeinlines.com - India's multiple-point access Twitter spin off!

As the Social Networking phenomenon buzzes along, here's looking at another website joining the bandwagon - www.lifeinlines.com. Put together by IIT-IIM students Ankur Gattani and Maninder Gulati, Lifeinlines is supposedly about recording those million lil moments that make up our lives.

To key in your moment, Lifelines requires a registration - but to browse through other Lil moments you can get started right away! A spin-off from Twitter, Lifeinlines takes a few steps more- your moments can be keyed in via SMS, a g-talk message, an E-mail and even a phone call. And, that's what makes it really cool. It's like taking Tribal India's BIG Voice Scrap onto a larger interface; you can even hear other users' million lil moments!

Lifeinlines comes with privacy settings, you can choose to keep your lil moments out of the public eye. This link should help you learn the ropes: http://lifeinlines.com/flashtour.php and give you an inkling of what they're doing differently whilst using the SNS platform to produce not just another scrap-and-share site.

Once registered, a Lifeinlines user can add friends off Facebook and Messenger lists besides the usual E-mail service providers taking it a step above the others in its category. The downside of Privacy concerns of course, needs a mention. To express your self, you can pick a location, a mood and even your happiness level.

The writer in you might cringe at some of the lines used across the website. But, Lifeinlines still comes out on top.It scores because it's really about remembering where you've come from, no matter where you're going. So, I'd say let's keep those LIL moments keyed in!

Alexa.com ranks LifeinLines at number 6,378735 as per Traffic records in India. You can find a quick numbers chart here: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/Lifeinlines.com
