Kontain your life.
|
It’s amazing to be able to finally welcome all alpha testers to Kontain, a life time dream for me and Fi. We have been down a long road, 10 years long in-fact, when the idea started of being able to contain all your stuff in once place and present it in a beautiful and organized way. Actually, it started 20 years ago, but that’s a story for Wired Magazine some day.
So let’s begin. The tables above, outlines the clear differences between Alpha Soft launch (now) and Alpha Hard launch (late October). Alpha soft is all about ensuring the fundamentals work, that’s why we are only 100 strong in here. If you’re in, it’s because your obviously a special person to someone in Fi and we are looking forward to your feedback and support.
Kontain is all about Kontain’ing your life and sharing it elegantly. Photos, videos, audio, your thoughts, we can Kontain it all. We designed Kontain for our Mom’s and Dad’s whom struggle with email attachments, we designed it for ourselves whom demand something better than a fancy thin laptop without decent sharing tools. We designed it for the mainstream public whom simply want to Kontain their lives.
Alright, try and Kontain something, a party, an event you recently attended, how about the video of your dog eating your apple tv remote? Or a Mercedes benz crashing at 60mph into your 2 brand new jetski’s.
Thank you for being here,
David Martin on behalf of the K-Team

Congratulations Team K, the site looks fantastic and this is only the beginning.
Kontain's philosophy reminds me of a quote I heard a long time ago. I don't remember the exact wording but it stated that something is only referred to as technology when it is new and not fully matured. As soon as something enters the mainstream and comes to a point where people can use it without having to think how it works and adjust themselves accordingly, it's not called technology anymore. Then, it becomes something like a car, TV, toaster or iPod, where you need absolutely no knowledge how it works to use it. Kontain is trying to do the same thing for blogging and media sharing and I feel like we have made some good steps in that direction. It's about time those things aren't just done by young people and "techy" people anymore, and that those barriers are broken down.

Indeed! The best thing is we know this is the begining, we know we have lots to inject here, what to inject and how to inject it.

How great would our world be if all technology companies aimed for this goal. A world where usability is not just a secondary consideration but actively strived for.
