If my dad only knew how much he meant to me.
I never had a chance to tell my teacher what a profound influence she had on me.
I wonder if more people loved her like I did?
My sister and I fought like cats and dogs when we were young.
now I think she's my greatest gift.
I wish I'd told him how i really felt before he died.
That last voice was me
and sadly I didn't get to tell my father
how I really felt about him before he died.
My name's Ian Fenn
I'm the CEO and co-founder of you spread love.
What we've created is a product called a Love Album.
This is one we've made for my granddaughter for sixteenth birthday.
It contains all the thoughts and feelings of her friends
telling her what they really appreciate about her. It contains some favorite
photographs from each of them
and that is all put together into this beautiful book. Can you imagine what it
feels like to get a book like this? It's a bit like a "this is your life" moment
for anybody who gets one of these and I can't wait for her to get this next week
on her birthday.
-The main thing my mom brought to my life
was that she showed me by example,
that you can actually disagree with people
and what they think
and you can achieve anything you want.
I never told her
that's what she brought to my life.
I'm Charlene Fellows, I'm co-founder You Spread Love.
When Ian came to me and told me about this idea
I just took it and ran with it.
You know, with all the communication taking place on the internet today
why is it that we seldom take the time to tell each other how we really feel?
I think we can all agree there should be more love in this world
and You Spread Love has created a technology that will make that happen.
So I decide I'm going to send a Love Album to special person
Maybe it's their birthday
maybe it's a retirement, could be for a wedding.
I go into my page and I choose a Love Album
I type in the persons name, type in the occasion and then I decide
who I'm going to invite
press a button and the invites are sent out to everybody
all your friends then have time to contribute, say how they really feel
send a few nice photographs
and the whole thing is rendered into a beautiful book.
all done automatically for you, the book arrives in the post
and then you give the book to the person that you care about.
That simple!
There's no other way for me to put something together like that without
designing or type setting an entire book myself.
We allow you to import information
and connect to your current photographs and contact information
from the most popular social media networks. -Y ou know I've done a lot with
working with Facebook's API's.
You know we've put a lot of emphasis on making this simple for Facebook users.
I'd love to do a Love Album for my parents. They're extremely important to me
and sometimes you know we were...
...you know I don't live... they live far away from me
and sometimes I don't know if they understand how important they are to me. 0:03: 15.909,0:03:22.180 I could talk about Love Albums all day but lets see what a Love Album can do in action.
-Clapping- -Cheers-
It took me completely by surprise. It was just a really great feeling.
The album... Actually I was not able to read it all at the moment
because I didn't think I could do it.
When I sat down to write this for him I realized, wow, my dad has done so so much for me.
I hadn't really thanked him. I'm glad I'm getting this opportunity
now to tell him thanks for everything.
We love you so much.
There are letters to me. Things about... I guess... how I impacted their life.
Sometimes I never really thought about it.
It's such a beautiful beautiful book and I'm so happy.
What a wonderful way to express your love for somebody.
Get everybody involved. Everyone puts something in. You got pictures, you got comments.
It's really cool.
This is... I'm going to really love looking at this.
When you're having a down day Alex, and you wake up with the blues
you can pull this out and remind yourself of all the people that love you.
We love you so much!
We love you!
Thank you very much.
And we look forward to seeing you on the site, when it's done.
