Behind the Scenes with Dio

By Mandi • 04/30/2013

This post brought to you by dio. All opinions are 100% mine.
Once upon a time there was this new site. It was called Pinterest. People had no clue what it was or how to even pronounce it,  no lie I hear it pronounced P-Interest a handful of times. (Sheesh, what does that say about where I live?!)  But since then I have been uber sensitive to all new forms of social media because MAN I missed that boat.
So today I am going to share a new site with you called dio. dio is a way to spatially separate a space, project, or anything amazing that your mind comes up with. Picture giving a house tour with virtual exits from each room and fun interactive surprises so people really feel like they are walking through your house! Its sort of like Minecraft for adults. (Disclaimer:  I dont actually know how Minecraft works, all I know is that when my nephew plays it looks like he is running from room to room. Disclaimer over.)

The thing that I loved most about it is that its more than just physical rooms, I created a dio place on a day in my life.  I thought you guys might enjoy seeing some behind the scenes action. The good, the bad and the ugly. Trust me,  there is lots of ugly. So go and check it out!!
When you create a dio place you start with the first room and then you create exits that go to other places,  they can all interconnect to each other or you can guide the tour by placing things in order with only one exit to the next spot. There are all of these fun objects that you can place in each place like pictures, albums, text, video, and lots of things to interact with.

So what do you think? Fun right?!
I was a little worried about the whole learning a new program situation, but dio was actually really easy to understand and I am sure that there is SO much more about it that I have yet to learn!
