Everlater out of Boulder, CO has raised an undisclosed amount of Series A funding led by Highway 12 Ventures. Similar to sites like WAYN, Everlater offers tools to geographically organize photos, stories, and trip details. Users can leave the photos and writing on the site can pull items in from external services such as Flickr. There is also an iPhone app that enables offline recording of travel stories which can be synchronized and shared later. Each user and trip has a unique URL that can easily be shared with friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Coming soon, Everlater says they will charge users to share their travel experiences offline by generating and sending postcards, printing scrapbooks, and photo albums.
