Lifestreaming!

Lifestreaming, according to wordspy.com, is “an online record of a person’s daily activities, either via direct video feed or via aggregating the person’s online.”

In other words, Lifestreaming is the new black!

Here it is in a nutshell. You have a blog, twitter, flickr, meetups, facebook, and a bunch of other shiny new web 2.0 toys. What do they all have in common? They all create feeds of your content. Someone interested in what you are up to can subscribe to these feeds individually but that can be a real pain. Lifestreams are a single feed that people can subscribe to that aggregates all of your feeds into one.

There’s nothing really new in this concept, people have been aggregating feeds for as long as there have been feeds. However, instead of a specific topic to aggregate around, the topic of your lifestream you!

There are several good services out there that will let you aggregate your lifestream like tumblr.com and jaiku.com. The one with the most buzz right now seems to be friendfeed.com. but I’m sure if you look, you can find others.

One word of warning, lifestreams open up your life in ways you may not be prepared for. Yes, all of this information exists already on the web but are you ready for everyone to have it all in one place? Think about it.
