Facebook Social Memory Wiki

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:23 pm with Tags: , , ,

Had this idea last thanksgiving, talked with Stan about it a bit when he played with SongTales, and nearly forgot about it.

Was just now browsing over Facebook’s “Social Timeline” again. Somewhat nifty, but more or less useless. It’d be kick ass if they took it one step further and basically made it into a “calendar” that integrated the “events” function, and also allowed you to openly add PAST events and moments in time.

Things like Casey’s 30th Birthday, Niles’ wedding, The Chocolate Cake fight, the day I moved to Boulder, when my cat died, all seminal events in my life, could be added. This ‘date’ then becomes a wiki entry of a sort, with a general description of the evening, then comments by Approved attendees where they can post written recollections of the night, upload tagged photos, videos, etc…

Suddenly you could get lost for hours stumbling through your friends lives and events, and likely discover simple things like the girl you’re now dating was actually at that party before you knew each other, that you were only passed out on the beach in mexico for 15 minutes, or god knows what else. Integrate the memories in the social space. I think it’d be cool. I’ll make sure to ‘tag’ you in the memor-entry for when I wrote this blog post and you read it.

    I’m all for this. I can’t wait to offer my version of events from last Halloween, i.e. where all of those chicks fell in love with me on the dance floor…
