LiL: India's Answer to Twitter, More
Pankhuri Bajaj, Aug 28, 2008 1930 hrs IST
LifeinLines, a.k.a LiL, allows you to share your experiences and thoughts instantly through email, voicemail, video, SMS/MMS, and Gtalk.
There are moments in life that you wish you could share with other people right when you're experiencing them. For this, there are blogs, forums, and of course, social networking websites. However, these platforms often miss the euphoria of the original precious moment - the "right here, right now" zing.
This is where LifeinLines comes in. LifeinLines, a.k.a LiL, is a place where you can share your experiences, thoughts, and opinions instantly through email, voicemail, video, SMS/MMS, and Gtalk - something that even the most popular social networking sites miss.
This essentially means that with LiL, as long as you have an active mobile phone or Internet connection, you would never fall short of ways to share memorable moments.
Even as LiL Beta was formally launched yesterday at a venue on the IIT campus, the website has been functional with select members since earlier this year.

The startup is the brainchild of IITians Ankur Dattani, Founder and Director, in collaboration with Maninder Gulati, Executive Director.
"LifeinLines is a chronicle of your life which is created as and when you live. It's a chronicle because it's a collection of little moments in your life that get lost in the rush of ongoing life," says Gulati.
"Some of these moments are that you want to eternalize, some of these are moments that you want to share with your friends, and vice-versa. None of the existing social networking sites offer this facility of actually recording and capturing your life's little moments," he adds.
Using LiL
After a quick/elaborate registration, you can add contacts from Facebook, messengers such as Yahoo and Hotmail, or email accounts such as Gmail, Indiatimes, and Rediff.
The website has a simple and intuitive interface, and offers users an option to share their LiL moments publicly, with select members, or privately.
You can start sharing your LiL moments here.
USER COMMENTS
That just implies they're not targeting Indian users alone, but intend to create a global LiL community.

I used this website and found it to be superb.. I recorded the day when I did the first diagnosis myself from the ward itself through phone.. I made an entry of the day I first sat in the outdoor patients department by sending an SMS from right there.. Its just superb.. Its a boon for a person like me who wants to maintain a diary but doesn't get enough time after coming home to sit and write it down.. Its like carrying your diary anywhere in form of your phone.. What an Idea..
