Destiny is a community of real-life friends from around the world. Its design and composition have changed — and continue to change — since it’s start two years ago, but the goal remains the same. The base members are four Swedish college students studying at Lunds Universitet. The “leader” of the group, Andre, is a very sociable computer science major who was in search of an easy way to stay connected to the people he meets and befriends everywhere he goes. Andre is what some would call a professional student. He now is in his fifth year at the university, but has yet to complete three years of courses. While that is not a reflection of his intelligence, (he is probably one of the most intelligent people I know) it is a reflection of his refusal to grow up. As a result, he is the first to throw a party and convince his friends to come over for an after party when the bars close. Funny pictures inevitably surface after a party at Andre’s. So a key part to the community he wanted to build was a space for party pictures to be shared. The expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is reversed in reference to his site so he then needed a place to make comments about the pictures and the party in general. By combining his needs, he created Destiny.se.
