arcalife.com: A New Family Community To Store and Share Your Family Experiences

arcalife is a new online family community where you can store all of your life’s greatest memories, photos, videos, events and moments, while connecting with your family, searching your family genealogy and creating a recorded history for future generations.

arcalife.com is currently in Beta and has a long list of new features, additions and improvements coming very soon. Some of the highlights of the arcalife experience come in a few dynamic ways to showcase your life in several really creative features. One of the coolest tools is called “Time Capsule”. As a member you can store, or “lock away”, memories, wisdom, or anything at all for someone of a future generation to discover. Another neat item is the multi-media “Life Cube”: load up your favourite photos or a specific time line of life photos and view the 3-dimensional animation. (You know that whole Sesame Street segment, “This is the story of your life”? A HUGE fan favourite. “Life Cube” entertains and gives you that same warm and fuzzy feeling.)

arcalife is the brain-child of Vancouver-based entrepreneur, Paul Taylor, and is pieced together by his savvy development team who cranked out what you see now in mere months – there’s plenty more greatness down the road.

Why is arcalife a step well beyond some of its currently more known competitors?

  • The Integration piece enables users to pull content from favourite networks online, making content creation easy and seamless. You can import photos from your Facebook collection into arcalife – importing content from Flickr, YouTube and mySpace is soon to follow.
  • Engaging Unique Features: ‘Time Capsule’ and ‘Life Cube’ bring your memories to life… even after you’re long gone!
  • A secure family community network that brings genealogy into the mainstream – you can search your family history and create a dynamic family tree to share with your loved ones.
  • It’s completely free! But if you need to access more storage space or require greater flexibility there are different levels of paid membership to suit your needs.
