How about placing your Facebook friends on a real wall...a giant poster with all your friend's profile pictures placed in your living room.
If this is something that intrigues you, then you must checkout Social Print, a service that pulls your friend's profile images from Facebook (with your permission of course) and prints them on a 20 by 40 inch poster in high resolution on a quality photo paper for $20.
"Print is just the right size to post on a wall and really engage with the images. Your poster will get noticed, you and your real-life friends will enjoy pointing out all the people you know and love." explains Social Print.
The size of the images depends on the number of friends you have, so whether its 50 or 5000 the poster will accommodate all of them.
Apart from Facebook, Social Print's latest addition is their Tumblr Poster and will soon be coming up with Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare and other social networking sites. Whats more, that they are working on being able to create a Friend Poster for Facebook Fan Page as well.
Who is the mastermind behind this project?
Benjamin Lotan, an artist and developer from San Diego who had to face Facebook's legal team when he had just launched this project.
Initially he named it "Printing Facebook", but due to some legal interventions Benjamin changed the domain name to 'Social Print". He has made it clear that Facebook did not hit him hard, they simply asked him to buy a new domain and gave him plenty of time to think about it.
"Despite past reports which have cited Facebook's bullying tactics, I actually found them to be quite cordial and polite. They even mentioned that they were 'excited about the project'." shares Benjamin Lotan.
Now with all that behind them, Social Print sure is a splendid idea, especially if you wish to gift such a poster to someone.
