The HotBook application from HotPrints allows [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) and Bebo users to transfer their [social network photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-backup-platform) into [real-life photo albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-memories). Because really, having a Facebook account filled with 700 images of yourself is only effective if everyone you know has uses Facebook too.

According to Springwise, the free HotBook app works like this: users indicate which images they want to include in their sixteen-page, soft-cover HotBook, then choose from nine different Hotbook themes and specify where they would like their HotBook shipped.
