Overview: What’s Intersect?
Life is made of stories, some as simple as a phrase or snapshot.
Intersect makes it easy to capture simple stories, create bigger stories, and connect your stories with those of others. You can share stories publicly and discover intersections with other people, or share privately with just certain people.
String photos and other stories together like beads, forming narratives. These narratives are called “storylines,” and you can have as many as you like. Each of your circles has a corresponding storyline, so that members of your private “Family” circle (if you have one) can see your private storyline called “Family.” If you’re willing to share your travel stories with the world, you might start a public storyline called “Travel.”
You can post a photo or other story on more than one storyline. This makes it available to people who have permission to see any of those storylines. To make a story public, post it to a public storyline.
You can borrow the stories of other people for your storylines, but you can’t change a story owner’s decision about who can see it. Intersect honors privacy.
When your stories have a time and place, Intersect shows other stories that happened there. This is called an “intersection” — an intersection of time and place.
On Intersect, we use storylines and intersections to map our lives’ experiences and perspectives across all time, so we can more easily discover ourselves and our connections to others.
