If you are on Facebook, a lot of your life is posted on your wall. The bands you like, the movies you watch. What would it look like if those things were printed out and stuck on your fridge?

We live such digital lives we sometimes forget how handy it can be to print things out where you can see them everyday. Calendars, quotes, photos, maps and more. Of course, Kodak Inkjet Printers can make it easy and affordable to print out all those items.

The Your Life on the Fridge app on Facebook gives you a peek into what that would look like!

Try it out and see what your Facebook life would look like on your fridge!
