An Online Book of Family Lore
Why?
To collect for the enjoyment of present and future family members all the good stories of your family.
How?
Have an online platform where you can create a private “book” of family lore, and invite family members to contribute continuously. Each one can help edit with their memory of what happened, so each story can have multiple versions.

A Ploy to Promote a Book, Encourage Reading It and Build a Relationship With the Reader
Why?
- Encourage the reader to buy and read the whole book.
- A promotion ploy to get the media’s and the reader’s attention.
- A new communication incentive for the reader.
How?
Build a game around each chapter of the book. For instance, after reading the first chapter, the reader has to realize what is the most important word, sentence, concept, etc. in that chapter. He then has to communicate this (website, email, SMS, etc.) to you. If he is correct, he gets a bonus (an extra short story about the main character, a badge, a tip, etc.) If he is not correct or a bit off he’ll get some help to arrive at the right answer. Each chapter has a different game, and if they make it to the last one, they get a big bonus.
The objective is not to make it hard, but fun and rewarding, so they are motivated to continue and maybe also spread the word about it.

Organize Borrowing of Books for Family and Friends
Why?
Many already do it. You borrow a book recommended by a family member or friend. It might be useful to have a central and organized place for this.
How?
Use existing platforms (like Facebook Groups) to create a closed private group. Invite your close friends and family members to join, and start recommending and lending books you read to each other. A special platform can also be built, with all the functionality to complement this activity (showing book details automatically, cheap shipping options etc.)
