Personera: "Your Life In Print"

Daniel Neville

In early January this year I was lucky enough to attend a gathering of some of the finest minds working in the online/ tech industry in South Africa - You can read a bit more about what I discovered there in this post. There was one particular project which I really thought stood out from the crowd - possibly becuase it works on one of the simplest (always the best) ideas around: Merging the online world with the offline.

Basically Personera allows you to order a physical printed calendar which uses information from your Facebook profile (photos, events, birthdays etc) to tailor the calendar so it represents you 100%. We managed to grab a couple of hours with Sheraan Amod and Jaco De Wet, Personera's two founders, and dug a bit deeper into what they do.

Im sure will agree its a simple service but thats what makes it so great - and I honestly think the best is yet to come. Having printed products with are based on what goes on in the online world is fast becoming a trend - You can buy books full of Tweets now! - and I personally cant wait to see what the guys at Personera come up with next. In the mean time be sure to go and check out Personera and remember to use your free code "IDEABOUNTY" to claim your free calendar!
