Nostalgic Time-Travelling Apps

The Timehop App Makes a Social Media Time Capsule of Yourself

— June 4, 2013 — Business
The new Timehop app is a delightful gadget that creates a social media time capsule of users to show them where they were exactly one year ago. Timehop users can wake up in the morning and see exactly what they were doing a year earlier.

It could make people deliriously happy and excited to see how far they've come, or it could also make users feel like they've completely wasted a year of their life. Either way, it's a fun and intriguing app that collects information from Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and other social media platforms to produce a social media time capsule.

When users sign into the app, they can scroll through their most popular photos, posts and interactions from a year earlier. The Timehop app is perfect for people who love a little dose of nostalgia now and then.
