Social Memories App Success Story
By COSALUX
Over 500 million Facebook users worldwide. Every day, people share status updates, pictures, videos and links on Facebook. The average user has 130 friends, 50% log in on a daily basis and post about 90 times per month.
The volume of data makes it difficult for each user to keep track of his personal highlights. We are likely to lose track of one or the other status updates in the constantly updated newsfeed. Also, it‘s not easy to remember when one actually changed which profile picture or what event was visited when.
We came up with the idea to create something that works against this perceived “loss of data” in the fast paced Facebook world. Our aim was to integrate our passion for infographics. What we came up with is the Facebook application Social Memories. Our client Deutsche Post has always been the bearer of social memories - on postcards and letters. Now they deliver you with your Social Memories again - this time in a book. To look at whenever you want.
At a glance, interesting facts and figures surface within the Social Memories book, such as: “Who are my most active friends?“, “Which of my wall posts was most interesting for my friends?“ or “Which one of my uploaded fotos was the one that triggered most comments?“. But there’s even more to it: Users get to know which of their words used online are the most popular ones. Or see a graphic depicting friends by star sign. The app analyzes these and other infos for a user-chosen space of time and converts them into sophisticated-looking graphics. “Social Memories“ equals personalized data visualization in a book! A book to remember.
PERFORMANCE
Within only a few days, the app went viral. Thousands of clicks on YouTube, thousands of tweets ranting and raving about the app appearing second after second. Numbers concerning page views on Facebook, monthly active users and created books climbed in only an instant of time.
Social Memories
Use the Social Memories application to save your Facebook activity, summarized beautifully in one book to look at whenever you want.

Dancing With Swarming Particles [extracts]
By visiophone
DANCING WITH SWARMING PARTICLES is an interactive installation and performace that intends to explore the relationship between a physical user/performer and a virtual performer the “avatar” which has the physical characteristics of morphing flocking particles.
The avatar’s body is composed by flocking particles that initially float in the virtual space without any apparent order. It is through the energy of the physical user/performer’s movements that the particles will start to morph into the avatar’s body.
TEDxRheinMain - Steven Sasseville - A Sense of Identity
By TEDxTalks
In “A Sense of Identity” Steven Sasseville examines why being a “Citizen” is more meaningful than being a “Consumer”. Why it´s a good idea to have an opinion, and accept the consequences of that opinion. Furthermore he explores why we all need to create “Things” worth caring about.
Steven seeks a “Long-Term Identity” that synthesizes interests, ethnicity, beliefs, family & friends, work and values. Will Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr, Blogger, Vimeo, Skype, and YouTube help in this quest? Will my identity be the “Next Big Thing”?
Steven Sasseville (born 1969) is managing creative director and co-founder of the innovation and design firm COSALUX, taking a more “daring to de different” approach to the design challenges out there. He’s known for his straightforward, honest and reimagining approach to the design business. Rethinking the ordinary, trusting our instincts and educating clients into trusting creative partnerships is part of the strategy embedded into the core DNA of Steven and his team at COSALUX.
