I’ve spent a lot of time this week thinking about exactly what I want to do with this site. I gradually built a mental image that combined all my public “stuff”. It would suck in feeds of my activity from all over the net, whether I used twitter, or tumblr, or facebook, or del.icio.us, or whatever else happened to be useful. All that stuff would get combined and displayed in interesting, useful ways (to me at least, and hopefully to others too) right here.
Just as I was figuring all this out and getting really interested in the whole thing, this article about lifestreaming came along (with a link to the very interesting Lifestream Blog). So all my great ideas already have a nice name and everything. Figures. In hindsight, I can remember lots of news over the years about lifestreaming and life recording, but the term itself doesn’t ring a bell. The way I had it pictured in my head, though, it was a world of too-much-information. Not something I was interested in.
Now that I’ve come up with it myself, though, it sounds fantastic. At least, when I do it my way… So this site will be my playground for whatever crazy lifestreaming ideas I have or I find on the interwebs. Should be interesting. Lifestreaming actually meshes really nicely with a project I’ve been playing with in my head for years, so there’s lots more of this crap to look forward to.
