The holiday season is finally here and that means there’s tons of traveling in our schedules. No better time for us to outline some interesting social applications for those of you on the go.

Facebook lets everyone keep a decent record of themselves with pictures, videos,  statuses, friends, etc. All you have to do is sign on and relive memories. Intel takes that one step further and makes Facebook users the main exhibit in their own museum.

The Museum of Me app takes your Facebook history and makes you the star of a short film that tours a museum all about you.  Now, this might not be up everyone’s alley, but you have to admit, the Museum of Me app fits right in with the rest of Facebook’s “look at me” vibe.
