That's the great thing about Everyme! Not everyone needs to be using the app for them to receive your stories, because it's integrated with the address book. For example, most of my family don't use any social networks, but they all use email. So I created a Circle with everyone's emails inside, and when I share a story, they get a beautiful email with my photo inside. They can reply to the email directly to comment on the story, and all keep in touch. We've made email a first class citizen.

Google Plus sort of does that too, not sure about comments via email though.

only if you could promise and guarantee that you won't sell to Facebook, I would switch in a heartbeat!

If I remember correctly, you were going to reinvent the Address book on iPhone. If I may ask, what was the reason behind pivoting from that idea to a private social network.? Curios to know the reasons behind abandoning the idea of building a better address book.

If Everyme really does work that way then I will like it a lot. The irony for me is that the most private thing I can do is also the most public: send a plain old email to a person with a link that anybody can use. The public-ness of the link in the email is what makes the act of sharing private. If the link was not public I would need to grant the recipient access to some piece of my social network for them to see the photos. Which in turn would probably expose a lot of other information about me to them, and thus would be a violation of my privacy. I'm not sure what one would call this idea of "private public" sharing but it's a concept I feel is missing from nearly all current social networks.
