Social Networks Get Rewound

If there is anyone out there who journals regularly,you know how enlightening it can be to go back on old entries to see how much you’ve grown. It’s also a good way to remember what you were passionate about or what concerns you had during a different time in your life.
Social networks are the diaries and journals of a more connected generation, but they can still serve the same purpose. Now there's a start up called Timehop that can rewind your Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and Instagram tweets back a year, and send them to you, answering the questions “What was I doing?” or “How far have I come?”
All it takes is a quick sign up, which adds the application to your Facebook and allows you to control how much access it has to your information. Daily emails will be sent that detail the history of your page from last year. According to an interview on TechCrunch, co-founder Jonathan Wegener wants to build the site into “the best way of recording, remembering and reconnecting around our digital histories.” The company just earned $1.1 million in funding, which will be used to add more engineers to the project.
