I was asked to try using the "Museum of me" application, which works with one's Facebook account and draws all necessary informations to build the gallery of one's life.


Here are my impressions about it:

+ "Museum of me" is beautifully designed and thoroughly thought, the transitions are very fluid and the application is very convincing in its portrayal of a 3D virtual museum. I also like the uplifting music and the additionnal characters/visitors, who oddly seemed to be extremely interested in the exhibition of my life.

- However, the pictures of my friends and I were randomly selected, and not the most relevant. The "words" which were supposed to be representative of me were also quite uninteresting (e.g. "is", "youtube"). Furthermore, I am not sure what is the use for this gadget,as it might be the most narcissistic application I have ever seen. I wouldn't want any of my life to be part of a "real life" exhibition, thus do not see the point for it to be virtual either.

 But I may not be the best critic, as I am not very fond of sharing my private life on the internet.

? Last but not least, when I subscribed to this application, it was indicated that "Museum of me" would be able to post messages and pictures on my Facebook wall, and do a lot of other things that I find a little bit too instrusive. I wonder whether the information that was extracted from my Facebook account to "Museum of me" could be re-used by marketers for unknown purposes ...
