Some lifestreams fuzz your timestamp – Posted around 4 hours ago… or leaving time off all together.

I've thought about not posting my L.A. trip content until I return home, which would be useful if it were automated, but isn't practical to do manually (every tweet, flickr, etc that revels your out of town, gets queued up).

In reality, for today, it's probably still cheaper to identify victims the old fashion way.

For system designers, it's really hard to know which data or metadata is a risk, beyond the obvious cases. The nice thing about fuzziness is the humans can fill in the dots, but it's harder to data-mine. The downside is (legit) mash-ups and syncing become impossible or more buggy.

My personal life is typically shared through private channels. Generally, the concept of lifestreaming only applies to my online life. My personal life is typically shared through private channels.
