OurNows is a place for reflecting
on our Nows and learning from Nows
of friends and other fascinating people.
“Know thyself.”
How is OurNows related to the /now idea and movement?
We were inspired by the idea and movement founded by Derek Sivers, like so many people who created their own Now pages. We loved it so much
we decided to dedicate ourselves to building a system that enables more people to have a Now page and
to empower everyone to do a lot more with their Now page:
- Track how your Now evolves over time
- Find relevant and interesting people
- Discuss your Now and Nows of others
- Follow and keep up to date with Nows of friends and other fascinating people
How is my Now page different from my Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr stream?
Your Now page is not a stream of events in your life or
interesting things you find everyday.
It's a one-page big-picture summary of what you are doing
these days and what your life looks like.
How is my Now page different from my about.me or about page on Facebook or LinkedIn?
Your Now page is not a static description of who you are, or your biography.
It's an evolving overview of what you are working on,
what keeps you entertained, healthy, productive, and sane,
how you conduct your life, what kind of lifestyle you
adopt, and what life hacks, rituals, and practices you
use.
