One Example of What a Lifestream Might Look Like ... and a Bunch of Resources

Comments (0)

Not long ago, I blogged about lifestreaming, the concept of aggregating various forms of one’s social-media participation into some sort of cohesive format, and thus into some semblance of a story about yourself.

Apparently WordPress has a Lifestream plug-in (ahem, got anything like that, Movable Type?), which Mark Krynsky uses on his site krynsky.com. Here’s what one from last week looks like: kynskyslifestream.jpg

I believe you can find any of his lifestreams by tweaking this URL with the date you’re looking for: http://krynsky.com/my-lifestream-for-2009-01-12/ lifestreamblog.jpg

In the process of checking out Krynsky’s lifestream, I uncovered a vast trove of lifestreaming resources at his other site, Lifestream Blog. He’s got categorized lists of sites and services that can be used as sources to build your Lifestream, a list of resources that can be used to create a Lifestream, a grid matrix that compares each of the Lifestreaming services on their feature sets, screen shots of Krynsky’s Lifestream at various online services (for me, the screenshots did not load), a directory of people’s Lifestreams, notable posts (stories!) regarding the Lifestream concept, a terrific About page that defines and discusses the Lifestream concept (Krynsky’s definition: “a chronological aggregated view of your life activities both online and offline… limited [only] by the content and sources that you use to define it.”)

I am increasingly convinced that lifestreaming is storytelling. I’m excited.

PS: Krynsky and I must be on some of thew same e-mail lists because he also touts on his Lifestream blog the lifestreaming venue Storytlr, which I’ve blogged about here. Krynsky is excited about new Storytlr features, such as the addition of Facebook, Laconi.ca Identi.ca, StumbleUpon, Twitpic, Tumblr and Vimeo; automatic crossposting of any source to Twitter; an available bookmarklet to post Storytlr items; the ability to embed widgets and stories in your blog; and new templates and “design your own.”
