Last week Marshall Kirkpatrick at ReadWriteWeb wrote a story about The Locker Project which is a new activity data capturing application. You can go there and read the full post (after you’re done here of course) and learn about the team at Singly working on this and the 1st place award they won at the …

A common thread I’ve heard by people who use social media services are the concerns of how to access their archived data or what could happen if the service ceased to exist. In the case of photos and videos I personally always have local versions that are usually much higher resolution than the versions I …

Awesome development reported by Marshall Kirkpatrick about Cliqset pushing Lifestreaming (and the ActivityStreams) initiatives further along. That means activities from all those services can be read in a common language and 3rd party services can slice and dice them to create new user experiences.

When I first began researching Lifestraming back in February of 2007 and then started this blog a month after there were only a few scripts available to create a Lifestream and not a single web service dedicated to them.

Vibstars is a Social Networking site based in France that appears to have been built as a platform to share web content with friends.
