If you have a Facebook account you must visit Intel's "Museum of Me" - which may just be the most brilliant Internet/web marketing/PR ideas EVER. I mean how many Facebook users are there in the world who every day click on the various little Facebook quizzes or games? Who wouldn't want to see their Facebook come to life?
Step One you authorise the Intel site to access your Facebook page.While it does that proceed to Step Two, which is to see what kind of privacy issue Facebook has snuck into this. Adjust accordingly. Personally I removed the ability for Intel to post to my FB page or access my News Feed.
Update: After having performed Step Two, I couldn't get Intel to upload the catalog of my museum to FB. So I ended up having to go back, remove the app entirely, and then remake my museum through the Intel website. So no going around this privacy invasion unless you don't care about posting your museum. If you want the privacy issue sorted, just remove the Intel app entirely.
So it gathers data (which includes the data of your friends too, interestingly enough). Then it begins.
I love the "Share yourself on Facebook". Not only is it appropriate to its medium, but it's also New-Age enough to prepare your brain for the music to come. The video starts - here is the quick tour through the gallery of your (Facebook) life.
When it's over Intel offers to post your Museum and a catalogue of some of the images to your FB page. I wanted an image from the catalogue, so I went through with it.
Here are some images from the catalogue.
There's been less than 1,000,000 galleries created so far, but it is well worth a look. There is something about "visualising" your social networking life. Mine apparently involves posting pictures of food.

I was quite pleased to see that an album cover of Gil Scott-Heron, the legendary beat poet in The Museum of Me. You can read a great article about him, his work, and his massive contribution to music, poetry, and the Civil Rights Movement here.
