Getting started with the Cozi Family Journal Facebook application

If you’re new to Cozi, welcome! You’ll want to check out all of the other great features Cozi has to offer, and then sign up for a FREE Cozi account, if you haven’t already.

The Cozi Family Journal is an easy way to record all those special family moments that might otherwise be forgotten. With the journal, you can quickly jot down these moments—with photos—and in no time at all, you will have effortlessly created a rich family history. It’s much simpler than maintaining a blog, and a lot less expensive than scrapbooking.

Now it’s easy to share these moments with friends and family, right in Facebook. Whether you create your Cozi Family Journal in Cozi, in Facebook, or both, your journal entries are always synchronized and available, to your family and to your Facebook friends.

 

Why keep a family journal? Why not just post Facebook status updates?

Your Facebook status is all about you, but the Cozi Family Journal for Facebook is all about your family!

If several members of your family use Facebook, they can choose to show your Cozi Family Journal entries on their own Facebook profiles. One person can add updates for the whole family. So, for example, if your spouse or partner is on Facebook, you can both make Family Journal entries that will appear on each other’s Facebook profiles and in Cozi, without ever leaving Facebook.

Plus, if your friends use the Cozi Family Journal, you can read their latest family news too!
