Tive's Take, Social Media Goes Nostalgic

Social Media Goes Nostalgic

As Social Media platforms get older, trends emerge. From the early Facebook friend landgrab, we’ve moved on to see more users cull their friends or make more intimate groups whilst others embrace “anti-social” media platforms that limit the number of friends you can have, like Path.

One trend I’m seeing more of is Nostalgia. More of us are tapping into sites and apps that pull together our social activity into one place/video/album that takes us down memory lane. Here are a few examples to note:

Momento: Recall tweets, photos, updates, videos, checkins and more from any date in the past.

Pummelvision: Make a punchy video made up of photos from Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and more. (I made one of all my uploaded Facebook photos - though sadly you cannot choose the music)
