Why You Should Be Lifestreaming

Date May 1, 2008

I’ve provided little nuggets of info sprinkled in many posts regarding my insights as to why I’ve always felt the Lifestreaming concept was great. What I’ve never done though, is provide a post telling others why they should be Lifestreaming as well.
When I first began covering Lifestreaming, there weren’t any services. In fact there were […]

Lifestreaming Services Need Better Filtering Mechanisms

Date April 21, 2008

Finding ways to limit the firehose of information has become a common theme lately. I recently read this interesting post on TechCrunch highlighting the need to filter the noise. Then I read on Mashable about how Twitter can be such a time sink. Sarah Perez then goes into more detail stating that Real People Don’t […]

Stop the FriendFeed vs. SocialThing Madness They’re Different

Date March 22, 2008

Up until now I’ve watched this battle rage from afar, shaking my head as I read most of the posts and comments that fueled it. The only reason these two services are being compared is because they are both Lifestreaming services that hit the limelight at the same time.
The fact is that these are 2 […]

How Twitter, FriendFeed & Lifestreaming are Transforming the Web

Date March 20, 2008

Here’s a quote from Stan Shroeder from his story So, Is FriendFeed The Next Big Thing?
I can barely find time to comment on blog posts; why the hell would I comment on bits and pieces of my (or someone else’s) online activity?
In following Lifestreaming over the last year I have seen some big changes happening. All […]

A Comparison of Last.fm Data on Various Lifestreaming Services

Date March 17, 2008

I’ve been meaning to do a post on this for a while and as is the case lately, I was propelled to do so based on chatter heard on Twitter. You will hear quite a bit about services supported on the various Lifestreaming sites out there. What they often don’t tell you though, is what […]

MyBlogLog “New With Me” Incubating for a Year Says Former Co-Founder

Date February 23, 2008

I just came across this post at the Social Media Explorer where Jason Falls puts his spin on the new Lifestreaming functionality coming to MyBlogLog very soon. I wrote about this as well recently. It appears that Jason struck a nerve when he stated “Is Yahoo just ripping off established aggregators like Profilactic?”. It just […]

A Lifestreaming Push Client is the Killer App

Date February 19, 2008

Let’s just say that when I first signed up for Twitter, I was less than impressed. Besides the cool SMS nature of the service, which I wasn’t using, it just seemed like a very limited group IM web platform to me. It didn’t seem like a very useful service to me either, since I basically […]

Six Apart Releases Action Streams - A Lifestreaming Plugin

Date January 30, 2008

I was IM’d this morning by reader Olivier (the developer behind Life2front) telling me of a link I should take a look at. So I head on over to the news story at Six Apart announcing their new Action Streams plugin for Movable Type. I’d like to welcome Six Apart to the Lifestreming party! (golf […]

Will 2008 Bring Lifestreaming to the Masses?

Date January 3, 2008

I first started this blog back in March of 2007. I created it shortly after this post on my personal blog where I already felt that Lifestreaming had the right recipe for becoming something big. I was so intrigued by this new concept but as is the case in most early web innovation, the information […]

Mashable Causes a Lifestreaming Mind Numb

Date July 21, 2007

First off I’ll say that I’m glad to see Lifestreaming continue growing awareness across the web. Unfortunately, due partly to the openness of the concept and plethora of services and methods to create them, confusion is rampant. That appears to be the case after this recent post on Mashable titled “20 Ways To Aggregate Your […]
