Each photo thus becomes a frame in an endless storyboard which can be browsed by periods in a person's life, where people overlap, by place, by time, or any combination. Create self-contained library documents to share with other MemoryMiner users, or export beautiful interactive web sites which can be automatically uploaded to your .Mac account or other web server. MemoryMiner also works beautifully with PulpMotion in order to create stunning video presentations suitable for web, DVD or iPod/iPhone. MemoryMiner lets you recreate the experience of telling stories around a photo album, even when all the people involved can't be in the same place at the same time.

Because of a unique combination of hardware, touchpad and two mice, there was an issue and the developer John patiently worked with and resolved the issue. He was very responsive and resourceful. Highly recommended. I am sure the software will further develop.

I wrote to the developer and suggested that MemoryMiner 2 should have an option to "only import and sync with tagged photos from iPhoto that feature peoples' names." That MemoryMiner 2 should go hand-in-hand with iPhoto 09, i.e. when changing a tag in MemoryMiner 2 it should be reflected in iPhoto 09. When deleting an image in MemoryMiner 2, it should be deleted in iPhoto 09 or at least mark in MemoryMiner 2 photos that have been deleted in iPhoto 09 after they were imported into MemoryMiner 2. At the moment, MemoryMiner 2 does not sync photos back, i.e. some of my thumbnails in MemoryMiner 2 are linked to missing photos… and you won't see them until you click on one. Stupid.
There's been a lot of work going into MemoryMiner 2… gimmicks and features that look nice but don't add to the ease of use in your every day work.
My time is limited. I cannot do a whole bunch of people tagging again. I've gone the iPhoto way… and that's it. If MemoryMiner 2 doesn't play game, then good bye. It was nice until it lasted. I won't upgrade.

I really think this app has a great future ahead of it. But before i really just want to throw myself at it, and dedicate my dear time and go total immersion some things are missing.
As many others i put forth a huge amount of trust in Apple .inc to store my digital memories. This app clearly shows the shortcommings of iPhoto.
To tell the story of my llife.
Therefore I really wish, that this was for adding data to my "iPhoto's" (to be original;-). In the data-integrety sense that the data be added as metadata to the files, or entries in the iphoto library file. This I would trust.
Also I would love to be able to access my story directly from iPhoto in a fullscreen kind of universe. And being able to add anekdotes or other data as I go along. Because once you get going at it, it's really quite entertaining.
But before all this happens, 49$ to put my "life" in unknown hands is not something I would do.

MemoryMiner 2.x has the ability to embed its metadata in the file itself using the open standard IPTC/XMP format. You can enable this option in the Preferences by clicking the check box "Embed metadata in photos".
In addition to the usual title/caption/location info, it also preserves the selection markers and their captions/person names. This has the advantage of preserving the work if you send any files to any other person who opens the file in an IPTC/XMP savvy program, such as Lightroom, Aperture, etc.
In terms of writing the data back to iPhoto, there's no "clean" way to do this. Apple provides a way for developers to read data from an iPhoto library, but not to write. There are many developers who would love to be able to do this.
