It struck me that so many life-changing things have happened to me in the last couple of years that having this in written form - along with the comments that go with - would be absolutely amazing. I was about to, like you, work my way back years and copy/paste the lot, but I chickened out! Please, please please come to our rescue!

It seems one should be able to do this with facebook APIs.. The handwriting thing is a plus of course... i like the idea — but i would be very happy with a record which is just in regular type.

I think the starting point would be to have an application that would do this automatically - by supplying login details - and having the application capture the updates. I can wait for the handwriting and variations of types of diaries. I really think such an application would really take off. What a fantastic idea.

I've never thought of copying my status updates into my diary though - might try it and see how it looks! :) I still have handwritten diaries from about the last 15 years or so and some of the things I’ve written are scary, not to mention hilariously funny!

We all go through so many moods, experiences, etc., in a year. It would make very interesting reading. I think it would cause people to make more use of their status updates too. An excellent family heirloom for generations to come, not to mention adding to historical records. I'd definitely use an app like that. This is an incredible idea!

I say that I have schizophrenic handwriting - I can write in so many styles, depending on my mood or other people's styles I've just seen. I think there's something really organic and beautiful about seeing it in your own handwriting - even if it's not the tidiest style. We use handwriting less and less... and the mundane looks more interesting in your own style. Thank you!
