Walnuts is a Facebook app that automatically builds digital or printed scrapbook-style books from a user's (or a Facebook friend's) photos and status updates. The product emphasizes a hand-written, journal-like appearance and pulls in popular content (likes, comments) and comments to create a scrapbook feel, according to founder Helen Spaull. Walnuts offers softcover ($9.90 medium, $12.90 large) and hardcover ($19.90) books, and provides a free digital-sharing option via Facebook post. The company has under $100K in seed funding at present, provided through a single investor. The app is described as a work in progress; planned features include more customization such as choosing who appears in the "Hall of Fame", adding or removing individual status updates, and additional layout controls. Further product enhancements like rearranging page content and keyword-based selection of friends' tags or status updates may be implemented down the road, per Spaull.
