My name is Cory Wiles and I’m the creator of WhoNote

“When we are dancing And you're dangerously near me I get ideas, I get ideas.”

Louis Armstrong


For the past 4 years I have building apps for companies such as St. Jude, EPB, VW and various startups, but alas my portfolio only contained apps built for others. I had yet to be inspired to build something for everyone.

All I needed was the idea.

“Music was the lamb that made a lion out of me”

Esthero


Almost every significant moment in our lives has a song associated with it. For example * your daughter’s dance recital * the last first kiss you ever had

Pull out your phone right now and look at your photos. They all captured moments that have meaning.

but how do we link these memories and music beyond simple reminiscing?

I have this need. My friends and family have this need. So I figured I'd take a crack at it.

WhoNote is the product

“Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine”

Bill Strange and Scott Davis


The app is fast, automatic and versatile (event from baby showers to Banaroo) * All you have to do is click to capture

Photos…Meet Music

WhoNote gives you the ability to orchestrate a symphony for events in your life

- Check-in to an event - Take pictures...no special actions required. - All photos are placed on a timeline, along with the music…sound tracking the moment * To make it even simpler you don’t even have to keep the app open after your initial check-in. * Didn't take photos with WhoNote? No problem it will ask you to upload photos taken during the event.

“ABC...Easy as 1,2,3”Jackson 5


When we look at the statistics as to how individuals interact with photos and music the potential for WhoNote becomes exponential.

Let's look at the numbers:

~60 billion: number of photos uploaded to Facebook by the end of 20104s: most popular camera on Flickr16 billion : number of songs downloaded from iTunes

“For the dollar bill Funky dollar bill”

Funkadelic


The initial the service will be offered free for personal events, paid subscriptions for corporate accounts tiered by # of guests.In addition, a targeted focus on strategic integrations with other music services such as Spotify, Last.fm and Turntable.fm are a top priority.

“To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust”

Queen


There are no direct competitors, but those that are close include:- Soundtracking- NightTag

But no one, up to now, has taken the approach of WhoNote

“You and me and all our friends Such a happy human race” Dave Matthews Band


Tim Cook said it best:

"The products we make, combined with apps you create, can fundamentally change the world, and really I can't think of a better reason of getting up in the morning"

Every spare minute that I have had since June has been spent working on the development of WhoNote and it has been a joy.

“Chase this light with me...”
