Lifestreaming - What is a lifestream?

In a nutshell - every document you create, every photo or video you post and every comment you make is stored in your lifestream - last ones shown first. Your past is at the end of your lifestream.

Some people even take it as far as to start off with the tail of their stream containing their electronic birth certificate.

Moving away from the tail (or the starting point) and toward the present, your stream contains more recent documents - papers in progress or new electronic mail; other documents (pictures, correspondence, bills, movies, voice mail, software, scripts, microblogs, statuses) are stored in between.

Some lifestreams move beyond the present and into the future, the stream would contain documents you will need: reminders, calendar items, to-do lists.

I started my lifestream quite recently. I capture all my inputs and outputs from twitter, jaiku. ping.fm, friendfeed, facebook, my blogs (on several topics), youtube (my videos and my favorites), flickr, delicious, digg etc etc.

I'm using a brand spanking new script (now in public beta) called Sweetcron. It's not easy to set up and a bit too fiddly for most at the moment, but it will be great. It is almost like having your own self hosted friendster.

I'm very interested to see how it does in the search engines too. It appears to do nice search friendly urls.

The backend (guts) of the script or the engine is Codeigniter - that is how I found it in the first place.

Wish me luck.

Onward and upwards...
