Our lives are increasingly being shared through social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and the like. Our smart cell phones are equipped to capture any visual or verbal moment that may be worthy of sharing with our friends and family via Facebook and Twitter. But these moments are being documented in the sense of here and now only, not archived or organized for future viewing. Memolane has solved that issue for us. We won't have to scroll through pages and pages of history on Facebook with our future grandchildren to show them pictures from past vacations. We won't have to scroll through those same pages to find a link a friend shared that was never saved. Memolane has resolved all of those dilemmas for us by designing a service that can read and organize your entire social media history and present all of that information in the form of a timeline. Scary? Yes. Cool? Yes.
The ever-changing landscape of social media has become a business. It wasn't too long ago that I personally thought it would be nice to archive my social media history to perhaps customize and document in place of a traditional scrapbook. Memolane may be the first of its kind, but it won't be too long before other services with varying capabilities will present themselves.
