Dear Rodinhooders,
A couple of amazing incidents happened a few days back. Then I thought that every one of us have our share of amazing tales, which are worth sharing and can inspire or entertain others.
One Billion Tales, is one such platform, where people can post random, interesting tales or explore many such tales posted by others. These tales can be related to a travel story, photo feature, person, an incident, food etc., anything, that is interesting and carries some value.
I have created a basic working prototype, please have a look: www.onebilliontales.in
I have not figured out any revenue model as of yet, which can follow, once it has enough user generated content. I want it to grow organically.
Now I want your help, please share your views, criticism, suggestions to make it better or simply contribute a tale. I am sure every one of us has an interesting tale to share.
Thank you. 🙂
Amir
[P.S. I have published one of Alok Sir’s tale, Just Jump. I hope you are fine with that, Sir!.. 😛 ]

On our recent bike trip to Laddakh, we took a wrong road, which led us to a dead end. There we found a shepherd family, who invited us to have food with them.

hi amir,
tell me something,
you are asking people to share their own stories, right?
but you are also sharing other people’s stories as well – from their blogs and from publications??
mentioning the backlink of where it’s originally published is perfect, but i really do think you’ll need to seek permission from the author of the story before you publish it.
you could get into trouble otherwise.
i think you should stick to getting people to publish their original stories. check out qpeka and litizen on the site.
my fav site for writers is unboxed writers.
if you want to share other published stories by some third author – then at least the person who is posting it should say how that story touched his/her life – why is he/she sharing it…
i love the name of your site. but i’m not sure you’re doing it right….

Good idea.
How are you planning to monetize this one.

Hi Asha,
Thank you for asking. You must have a very busy mind, so much stuff there. Not much progress as of yet. I have been looking for a suitable co-founder, I think I have found one.. You might hear more about it soon.. 🙂
The site is nice, have taken some notes; will help me refine my idea. Thank you for sharing.
You are awesome.. 🙂
