Entrepreneurs Seek to Make the Most of Their Time with New Online Community
CWMBRAN, Wales, U.K. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again." However, Henry was wrong. At the new internet site, Whose Time? you can take back time, for the nominal fee of $1 per minute.
For those who never have enough, or claim they are running out, it's time to hurry over to Whose Time? Visitors to www.whosetime.com can purchase minutes in any amount. Once registered with the Whose Time? community, the buyer receives one free minute. Additional minutes are available at $1 each. Every minute allows the user to enter a title, a description and an image, and add a link to their own website.
According to Whose Time Ltd. founder Owen Lewis, "The next time someone says, there aren't enough hours in the day … well … that's our business model — giving folks that time. What is time if not ethereal? It's a perfect fit for the Internet."
"My wife Julie and I had the idea for the site around Christmas 2005, started discussions with our software developer friends around February 2006 and then launched the company in November of 2006," said Mr. Lewis.
Both Lewises are fifteen-year veterans of the information technology sector. After they married, had children and lost a parent (Owen's father, Mike) to cancer, they realized time had started slipping quickly away.
"Anyone who has ever had an ounce of real inspiration will chuckle at our story," said Mrs. Lewis. "In the early hours of one morning, following a sleep deprived night with our daughter, we got to talking about how great it would be if someone could actually give you time!"
The couple hopes the website will appeal to the entire spectrum of the on- line community, and envisions people using minutes to mark events ranging from the birth of a baby, the date a sports team won a big match, or the birthday of their favorite celebrity! As of this writing, Elvis's birth date is still available. Mourner's minutes pay tribute to someone, making a lasting on-line memorial.
Time is limited at Whose Time? — from 0 AD to 3000 AD. Each day has 1440 minutes regardless of time zone. For the benefit of non-mathematicians, that's 1577 million minutes! So, make up for lost time at Whose Time?
