Made for people who don’t want to store all of their recorded memories digitally,
Life Blinx offers a tangible way to preserve photos—by creating real-life photo albums right from your Facebook account.
Created by Darcy Crociata, who also works as a marketing and networking consultant, Life Blinx was propelled by
the Brandery and
CincyTech.
“So many people are living their life on Facebook with nothing outside [of the site] to show for it,” Crociata says. “This is digital scrapbooking meets the real world.”
To create an album with Life Blinx, you simply register through your Facebook account and select which photos will go into your book. It’s a very quick process that Crociata says is best fitted for busy people—not those looking to painstakingly plan out every single detail of the book.
The books are created by
Print Management in Fairfax. Crociata describes the partnership as a blessing to the small business, because they have a professionallly equipped staff and facilities at their disposal. The two companies connected through the Brandery as well.
The service is not without its hiccups, of course.
“Every time Facebook changes, we have to adapt,” Crociata says. Users of the massive social network will know Facebook’s platform seems to change as frequently as the weather forecast. Life Blinx struggles to maintain composure amid Facebook’s many bugs. So far, they’ve been successful.
A growing company, Life Blinx is on the lookout for new staff. Interested applicants should have a technology background and experience maintaining company websites.
