Freeze Crowd is an interactive social experience network for college students and alumni that was first imagined back in 1999 when its Founder Eric Leebow was a college senior looking at his college freshmen picture book. Fast forward about 11 years later FreezeCrowd was launched in 2011.
Eric saw while viewing the photos that everyone in the pictures had something in common, yet the Internet sequel where students shared their lives together was yet to be realized. With such visionary ideas as connecting the traditional paper yearbook to the Web through new inventive ways, a dream was born to connect people in group photos. The FreezeCrowd name is a play on words which comes from “Three’s a Crowd,” and was later changed to FreezeCrowd as a new way to “freeze” people’s photographic memories connect people interactively in groups. The basic idea of connecting with people in groups is already done in real life, whereas friends, teams, and family members take photos of everyone in their crowd.
FreezeCrowd takes this real life connection to the next level, by unleashing the wisdom of the crowd and see how you connect with the people you know, and communicate inside the photos with speech bubbles that are contingent upon tagging. The best way to join in the fun, and the experience is to join a group simply by taking a photo with a few friends, and let the “Freeze” button connect you. You’ll be well on your way to sharing and freezing your photographic memories.
