We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from William, who wants to make sure his new whip fits into all of the small spaces. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"I've recently bought a new car and would like to install a reversing camera. Is it possible to install one that'll relay to my Android tablet rather than buying a dedicated display? Many thanks!"

Well William, we were originally a little bit skeptical but we did find reports of at least one device that might solve your problem. Valeo produces the Wireless Vue, a WiFi reversing camera that hooks up to smartphones and tablets. So far, so good, right? Well, unfortunately while the product's said to exist, we've not been able to find it available for sale either in the US or Thailand, where William is from. As such, this week's Ask Engadget is a two-pronged encounter. Have any of you wonderful people seen a Valeo Wireless Vue on sale, and if not, is there anything else that can do the job?

'StoryWorth' Records Family Memories to Connect Generations

Camille Bautista2013-04-10 21:58:24 UTC

The art of storytelling is timeless. There's nothing like hearing old tales of your grandparent's teenage days — but the narrative connection often loses its spark when Grandma lives across the country and you can only keep in touch through Facebook.

To help collect family history and create deeper relationships between generations, Nick Baum created StoryWorth, an online platform that archives personal stories, both spoken and written. The goal is to bridge family gaps and encourage dialogue by prompting questions you may not regularly ask.

You can share your own memory or invite loved ones to tell theirs. "What were your friends like in high school?" "How did you figure out how to be a parent?" Baum sends users one question per week, and participants can respond via email or phone.

Baum's 82-year-old father inspired him to create the service in order to share stories with his kids and grandchildren.

"He was born before computers, before television, before transatlantic flights, he has a lot of cool stories and I wanted to make sure I would give him an easy way to capture them," Baum tells Mashable.

Though StoryWorth will provide weekly questions, users can make up their own. For older users who prefer not to answer via email, the service sends a phone call to the storyteller who can record their memory, similar to leaving a voicemail. Answers are stored privately to an online biography and can be shared with select family members or friends.

Storyworth is available as a subscription service for $49 a year, and users can invite as many people as they want. Over time, the goal is the discover a broader sense of what that person's life was like.

Responses can be arranged on a timeline, indicating certain chapters or milestones, and users can also download the answers in formatted PDF files to print as keepsakes.

"I think people don’t often take the time to ask these questions of their family, and as one of my users put it, the StoryWorth email is the most important one he gets every week," Baum says. "Almost all emails don't matter a week or a month later. What can be more important than your family history?"

Would you use StoryWorth? Are there other apps or websites you use to collect family memories? Let us know in the comments.
