HumanBook is a Collaborative People Directory. It is a people book- about people, and their relationships. With our HumanBook, users' entire lives can be reflected within the chapters and pages. It has the capacity to house and reflect every real life connection of every person and relationship in the world. It simultaneously acts as a lifelong scrapbook, online community, and a constantly updating address book. In doing so it creates a comprehensive life connection tool. With a system predicated on accountability, the HumanBook is also dedicated to integrity. This means no fake profiles, with no exceptions.

The HumanBook is meant to be reflective of people's real life relationships. Most important is the library, built of networked links. Users sign themselves up, then identify and record within the system as many of their friends and family as they can recall. The profiles of all people, though inactive, already exist, awaiting linking and activation. The web of connections built spans each user's entire personal history. Users have the ability to seek out and revive any and every lost relationship, simply by remembering a few basic details. Once they do, a bond is forged that can last and be preserved within the Book for a lifetime.

Also integral to the HumanBook is the Live Address Book. Using the links established via the network, this address book is a commonly shared, live-feed, information storage facility. Registered users have complete discretion over the availability and dissemination of their contact information. By automatically synchronizing the contact information of each user, as well as the contact lists that the users themselves index, the HumanBook becomes an irreplaceable instrument in the recollection of one's life. No more lost or out of date contact information, all thanks to the HumanBook.

HumanBook has many extra features, such as the picture IDs. Users add their photos, as well as properly identify the other people within the pictures. These pictures provide an additional level of accountability, and ensure that users are who they claim to be. The tagged photo albums act as a digital portal to your life's story, and one that can be communally shared by all family and friends.

HumanBook is entirely community oriented. Peers share the responsibility of building connections with one another. Other networking sites have a glaring shortcoming, and that is their exclusive reliance on self-registration for network building. HumanBook solves this issue by granting users the power to make connections to inactive accounts, those who have not yet registered with HumanBook, and do their community building for them. When those separate, linked users eventually do register as a part of the HumanBook, they already have the framework of a profile; complete with networked links, shared communities, contact information, and tagged photos. Finally, the contact information gathered feeds in to a larger directory. The result is a comprehensive contact web that spans a whole life.

Enjoy the HumanBook - it is yours!!!
