The Social Life: Print your Facebook memories

Facebook can be used for several different reasons.

I don't update my status every day but I like to keep in touch with friends and family and Facebook is a great way to do that.

I have seen pages on Facebook, which have a dedicated purpose. Recently in Rotorua, tribute pages were set up for the teenager who died in a fire.

Those pages are filled with comments and photos and is a place where people can go and talk about the 14-year-old.

Facebook timelines and tribute pages like this can serve as a digital scrapbook in someone's life. It can house digital memories of your life and big events, including birthdays, graduations, weddings, overseas holidays and that time you got a new puppy.

A new service wants to help Facebook users move those memories from the cloud into a permanent, physical keepsake.

Likebook will convert content from your Facebook timeline and print it in a physical book. Your status updates, photos and comments from friends can be printed in your custom book. Content is either pulled from a specific date range or an entire year (as far back as 2007).

Depending on how much content you choose to archive, a Likebook can cost from $31 to $192 and can range from 25 to 500 pages. They even come in paper back or hardcover.

Likebooks says Facebook users create enough content on the social network to fill about 100 pages of a physical book per year.

Likebooks marketing director Patrick Osinski said users already had several years of their personal life story on Facebook.

"We provide a way to respond to the basic human need to gather, archive, and share the personal stories that are stored in social networks."

This physical memento could be on your own bookshelf when you want to stroll down digital memory lane. It could also be a nice way to collect together comments and photos from tribute or dedication pages. To check it out visit www.likebook.me.
