To me, one of the most interesting thing about Foursquare is the History tab. It transforms the service from a "where you are" app, into a "where you were" log. In a way, it's sort of like a diary. I wish Twitter was better at this idea as well. Because what I tweeted a year ago says something about how I was feeling, or what I was doing back then. In fact, a lot of the web services we use on a daily basis would be perfect for this type of passive diary writing. And that's exactly what Momento, an iPhone app, makes happen. At its core, Momento is a straightforward diary app. It allows you to easy write "Moments" (diary entries) to express what you are doing or feeling on any given day. It takes the process a step further by allowing you to tag friends (from you iPhone contact list), places, events, and add photos to these entries. But the real killer feature of the app is that it also allows you to import bits of information from a number of services including Twitter, Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Digg, and any RSS feed. The result is a brilliant log of almost everything you're doing online.
