Lobbol.com is a website that I am creating for myself to group all of my projects, ideas, clients, friends, family, sports information, and everything else that I am interested. I am building this website so that others can use the technology and also contribute to the information.

I am currently working on the client administration area of the site. Some other things that I am working on are as follows:

Contacts Management - This will allow you to group your friends, family, and other contacts.

Permissions - One of the major differences between my website and other profile websites out there is that I will allow you to set permissions on everything that you post. Other websites just allow you to make your whole profile public or private. These permissions will allow you to hide items from the public, display them only to the people that you want to see them. For example sometimes there are photos that you would want your family to see but not your friends. This will allow you to do that. Some of this might sound a little complex but I assure you that it will be done in a very user friendly way.

Photo Albums - In this section of the site you will be able to create albums within albums and upload photos. Also people can ask to be associated with that picture by doing a "relationship request".

Relationships Management - One of my goals with Lobbol.com is to create a way for us to track relationships. For example in a photo there is a person, place, thing, or event that relates to it. I want the system to make it easy for us to track these kinds of relationships. This will allow users to see what pictures they are related to. The creator of the image can specify which users are related to in the photo. One thing that this will also do is give us information that we can help map out timelines and contribute to your all the users Journal.

Pretty exciting huh? If you have some ideas or comments or you would like to help me in my quest for building this project please send me an email at bkschatz@lobbol.com
