WHAT YOU NEED

These days, people live so much of their lives online, cross- posting between Facebook and Twitter, Instagram and Flickr, that it’s a wonder anyone can keep up with everything.

In addition, all that electronic business has another interesting side-effect, making everything not just instant, but also momentary: as if a post – whether it be a photo, a link or a comment – only exists until it’s pushed off the screen by someone else’s noise and chatter.

WHAT YOU NEED

The free Timehop app gives iOS users a chance to remind themselves of what they were up to in the dim and distant past by grabbing their entries from popular social networking sites (along with photos from the camera roll) and displaying them once a day.

Previous posts are shared with other Timehop users, while local photos are not. So it’s a good way to reminisce, while keeping private moments to yourself.

Here’s how it works.
