For now, twos is just a space to write things down, maybe check in on what your friends or family are up to and then move on. It doesn't take up a lot of your time so that you can record what you want to record and then move on to your life so you can do more things that are worth writing down
“We want to own the workspace, to offer the essential modern tools that someone needs to be more productive,” says Phil Libin, Evernote’s CEO.
Getting important ideas down alleviates the stress of losing your thoughts to time or an overcrowded mind.
Mitch Hedberg: “I sit at my hotel at night, I think of something that’s funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or if the pen’s too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain’t funny.”
"In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself." - Susan Sontag
One of the main (social) functions of a journal or diary is precisely to be read furtively by other people, the people (like parents + lovers) about whom one has been cruelly honest only in the journal.
“The diary taught me that it is in the moments of emotional crisis that human beings reveal themselves most accurately. I learned to choose the heightened moments because they are the moments of revelation.”
“People who keep journals have life twice.” - Jessamyn West
the only way not to have to write things down is to write them down so you remember them well enough not to have written them down.
“Paper is to write things down that we need to remember. Our brains are used to think.” - Albert Einstein
“If it is not written down, it doesn’t exist.” — Anais Nin
It was while writing a Diary that I discovered how to capture the living moments.
Keeping a Diary all my life helped me to discover some basic elements essential to the vitality of writing.
When I speak of the relationship between my diary and writing I do not intend to generalize as to the value of keeping a diary, or to advise anyone to do so, but merely to extract from this habit certain discoveries which can be easily transposed to other kinds of writing.
Of these the most important is naturalness and spontaneity. These elements sprung, I observed, from my freedom of selection: in the Diary I only wrote of what interested me genuinely, what I felt most strongly at the moment, and I found this fervor, this enthusiasm produced a vividness which often withered in the formal work. Improvisation, free association, obedience to mood, impulse, bought forth countless images, portraits, descriptions, impressionistic sketches, symphonic experiments, from which I could dip at any time for material.
“Every word written is a victory against death.” — Michel Butor
“The LORD gave me this answer: ‘Write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.’” (Habakkuk 2:2 TEV)
Privacy is Freedom
That was my best writing and that is what I need to get back to. It's not w journal it's a time capsule
"Once been called the best note taking app ever" the greatest place to write things down
It's for your grandchildren to read at a certain age you can go through it at the end. If you die before you set it it automatically goes to thirty. It's good that we are starting at ground zero and then just adding functionality. It's actually so dope
It itself is a time capsule

"Write something p****"
Wegener said that while ephemerality is natural for personal communication, people will likely always want to preserve certain actions and moments for posterity. “Often the whole reason you take a photo is to be able to see it later. There will always be a market of people creating content for the purpose of an archive.” - Jonathan Wegener CEO Timehop
Social networking today is all about where you are right now, but Timehop has shown that there is also value in pausing to look back at where you’ve been.
“In the not-so-distant future of life online, we will willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire,” said Ondi Timoner, who documented this and other controversial human experiments in her 2009 film “We Live in Public.”
She also warned us of the dangers of living our lives exposed, with what now sounds like common sense: “the Internet, as wonderful as it is, is not an intimate medium. It’s just not,” she said. “If you want to keep something intimate and if you want to keep something sacred, you probably shouldn’t post it.”
They don’t want open social networks, they want intimacy. They don’t believe every action has to be meaningful and permanent. The imagine the web as deletable.
But we did it anyway. We posted it. We liked it. We shared it. We hashtagged it. And when we ran out of things to document about ourselves, we turned towards our children.
As we head into the post-PRISM era, there’s even a chance that this trend towards privacy will become further entrenched.
But in the meantime, a new social norm could still be established. One where those who play for the cameras are outed and ostracized; where we value human connections enabled by technology over meaningless “social” scores; and where we care more about our relationships, and less about the number of likes and shares we have.
White Walling - To delete many or even all past facebook posts in an effort to maintain a reasonable reputation
“When I think about what Instagram is, I think about moments,” said Kevin Systrom, the photo-sharing service’s co-founder and C.E.O. “Our mission is to capture and share the world’s moments.”
“We’re forever on a quest to take a moment and record it forever in time,” Systrom said. “It’s our collective belief that the world is better off captured and shared more permanently. That’s what Instagram is.” And it is precisely the opposite of what Snapchat is.
Instagram content is designed to be shared; Snapchat is designed to be real.
Institutionally, Facebook cannot tolerate much impermanence or ephemerality; it would make a poor catalogue of people, social connections, and all the things that travelled between people along those connections if things constantly vanished. (It would also fail to sell tailored advertisements very effectively.) But in the relentless drive to collect all of the world’s moments, it is ignoring that there is something meaningful about a photo or video that is destined to be forgotten—a record that does not simply capture a moment but is itself only a moment.
What is Twos is a tough question, not because it is not discoverable, not because its intangible, but because it takes on a different form depending on who asks the question and who answers it
One of the most amazing things about us humans is our ability to create tools to remember. Things like language, books, photography. We are forever on a quest to take a moment and record it forever in time. Because however long life is or short life is, we know we may never get that moment back. Its a way to take these moments and be able to look back and remember them from time to time. Its a way to stay connected. It's our collective believe that the world is better off captured and shared more permanently. It isn't a single thing. Its a collection of ideas and inspiration best captured and shared. Capture and share the worlds moments.

I want to read your time capsule you can put notes or just thoughts and when you pass away the people closest to you get to read it. You dont even have to do it but when you invite someone.
Heres what we are going to do. We are going to get money, get talent, get brains, build an easiler life with a better tool and then make more money along the way. And then just build on technology and soon we just think things and can query back later Virtual memory
Selling is not about convincing somebody to give you money for something they don't want. Selling is about knowing in your heart, mind, and soul, that the product or service you have can help anybody in your potential customer universe
Any sort of software — or writing, or music, or video, or clothing, or anything else — has never been purchased for its intrinsic value but rather because of what it did for the buyer — how it made them feel (informed, happy, relaxed, etc.). Create the conditions where the need might manifest itself and then meet that need, and not only will your business succeed, it will, in all likelihood, succeed to an even greater extent than the physically-limited lowest common denominator winners from the “good old days.”
Maintain a history. Make it more organized acessable and useful
Memory is so narrow, incomplete and bad
contact richard branson if he had never taken notes during meetings and networking, then many of Virgin’s companies and projects would never have even been born. “No matter how big, small, simple or complex an idea is, get it in writing. But don’t just take notes for the sake of taking notes, go through your ideas and turn them into actionable and measurable goals. If you don’t write your ideas down, they could leave your head before you even leave the room.” – Richard Branson
"A life worth living is a life worth recording" - Jim Rohn
"Don't learn more. Forget less"
“What’s best for the world is not making sure my feelings aren’t hurt. It’s getting to what’s the best implementation, what is the best tool we can provide.”
