Photographs have an amazing ability to induce nostalgia. We capture them without regard for how we will view them in the future. They are sharper than our memories, something to rely on. Why are they so often abandoned afterwards?

Flickr and Facebook and the numerous other photo-sharing websites available today all help us distribute our images to friends but none of them remind us of what happened in the past. That’s where the Photojojo Time Capsule comes in.

Time Capsule scans your account to find the most interesting photos from a year ago and sends them to you by email every fortnight. The photographs are selected based on number of views, number of times marked as favorite, and number of comments.

Signing up is simple – you log Time Capsule into your Flickr account and then tell it your email address. It takes less than a minute and moments later you will have the first time capsule in your inbox. Once you have it running you will get constant reminders of the photos you took one year ago – and they get better with more photos which gives you a great excuse to go and take some more.

Here is one of my recent Time Capsules.

If you tell one friend about Time Capsule today, you’ll make their day.
