MemoryMiner is the award-winning Digital Storytelling application for Mac and Windows used to discover the threads connecting peoples’ lives across time and place. It lets you zero in on the stories depicted in your photos by linking them to each other based on people, places and time. Using simple drag and drop actions, you specify who is in the picture, where the picture was taken and when.
MemoryMiner helps you get the most out of every effort you put into creating your libraries. For example, using portions or a full address or city/country, the application uses Google Maps to specify the exact location where a photo was taken. It uses the intersection of a photo's date and the birth date of a person to create icons representing people at different stages of their life and to display the age of a person when the photo was taken. It uses the selection markers you make to display your photos as slideshows using the famous "Ken Burns" pan and zoom effect.
Drag and drop audio, video, documents, or URLs from the Media Browser onto your photos and add text annotations to add depth and context to each photo. In this way, you get the very most out of your photos, particularly those rare photos from a generation or two ago.
You can then automatically publish your stories to the web (via .Mac or FTP): MemoryMiner creates a great interactive presentation using highly advanced, dynamic HTML and Flash.

We're currently working on building a MemoryMiner community, built around a shared database which records the existence of online stories produced with MemoryMiner, along with descriptive information about the media elements used to build them. Find out more on the community page ...
We'll keep you posted with our progress through our blog.
