Embodiments of the invention are directed to capturing, recording and sharing information relating to a users important or memorable experiences. The capture of information relating to an experience may be initiated automatically, manually and/or using some combination of automatic and manual techniques, and the information may comprise video, audio and/or photos of the user and/or the experience, metadata describing aspects of the experience, information accessible via the World Wide Web, an indication of friends and associates in proximity to the user during the experience, and/or any other suitable information. Information relating to one users experiences may be made accessible to other users, so as to create shared experiences and deepen social connections between users. Users may thus “bookmark” important or memorable life experiences, keep a record of information relating to those experiences, and share that information with others.
