For the social media-obsessed who want to preserve every status update, there isn't an app for that -- but there's a printer! Meet the Facebook Box.
Steve Murray is the creator behind the Facebook Box and he's here to help people keep physical copies of memorable status updates. It's essentially a printer that hooks up to your Facebook account. Each time there's an update, the logo lights up, and the status will automatically be printed on a small chit. The right hand side has a filing system that gives you the proper space to store everything. The box itself dons Facebook colors with blue and white colors as its color theme.
Considering the numerous feeds that go through Facebook every day, it really is for those who are extremely social media-obsessed. An interesting concept nonetheless.
