Meet "Proust" - the new Social Media Network for Sharing Memories with Family and Close Friends
This is an interesting website that Fred Griffin brought to my attention. I have not yet tried to upload anything , but it might be the place to put your grandparent's memories, your parent's wisdom and anything from your family that you want to share with far-flung relatives so that they feel they have some share in the family tree.
Thank Fred for his great post that is so informative and shows the features of Proust.
Proust! Do you have some Fond Memories? Do you have a few Good Stories to Tell? Are you concerned about the Lack of Privacy on Facebook and other Social Media Network Websites? Proust is the Site you want for sharing Emotional Memories, Uploaded Photos, and Tagged Locations with your Family and Friends.

Proust was ...inspired by a segment in In Search of Lost Time, a 19th century novel written by Marcel Proust in which the protagonist bites into a certain kind of cookie that brings back a rush of memories from his childhood."

"The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one's personality. Its name and modern popularity as a form of interview is owed to the responses given by the French writer Marcel Proust.
At the end of the nineteenth century, when Proust was still in his teens, he answered a questionnaire in an English-language confession album belonging to his friend Antoinette, daughter of future French President Félix Faure, entitled "An Album to Record Thoughts, Feelings, etc." At that time, it was popular among English families to answer such a list of questions that revealed the tastes and aspirations of the taker.
Proust answered the questionnaire several times in his life, always with enthusiasm.
