Are you familiar with Timehop? Your concept sounds similar, though I don't use the app and may be wrong. In any case, it might help to look into how they monetize.

Yep, very similar - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Timehop added this as one of there options as they already do twitter and facebook.

I use Timehop but not sure about any user facing revenue model. They do however have the last 5 years of facebook and twitter data about me so I'm sure they're making some money from that.

yep. just check them out. there is no business model for the users. How do you find the service Ben? I read a post that they used to send daily emails. Do they still do that?

I get daily iOS notifications. I have a feeling if I didn't open the application then I would get an email which is a really nice way of handling notifications.

oH. Did not know of Timehop. Just check them out. I would say the service is much similar, just that Timehop is a mobile app. While mine behaves much like a newsletter.

Thanks for sharing.
