Moment.me is a new iPhone application that automatically aggregates photos, videos, and tweets from social networks, and then organizes them into multimedia albums it calls “moments.” It currently supports Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Google+, meaning it sources the content from those networks to create these moments, so you don’t have to change any of your current sharing behavior. The system works using a proprietary “smart-matching” technology to determine which pieces of content should be organized together. When an event is ongoing, a red “Live” banner appears, indicating that updates are still coming in. “We saw an unfilled void in the social web,” says CEO Ronny Elkayam. “Photo and video sharing sites were popping up all over, showcasing people’s experiences, while at the same time, people were tweeting to their followers while at live public events – from concerts and parties to political rallies. However,” he adds, “there was nothing around that collected all the pics, videos, and tweets from an experience and presented them in a format where people could see 360-degree views of the entire experience.” With Moment.me, the end result is something which is very much like Flock , the new shared photo albums app from Bump , which lets you automatically share photos you snap at the same location with any of your Facebook friends. And by “share,” I mean without having to first post them to Facebook, upload them in the app
